Venezuela's earthquake death toll has risen to nearly 3,000, according to the latest humanitarian situation reporting, as emergency teams and aid agencies continue to respond more than a week after two powerful earthquakes struck the country.

a Report, dated 4 July, said authorities had reported 2,954 deaths, 16,592 injuries and 6,462 people rescued since the earthquakes began on 24 June. The figures mark a further increase from earlier reports and remain subject to revision as access improves and local assessments continue.

The disaster has placed additional strain on a country already facing deep economic and infrastructure challenges. Earthquakes of this scale can leave long needs behind the initial rescue phase: temporary shelter, medical care, water systems, roads, schools and public buildings all require rapid assessment before communities can safely return.

Humanitarian reporting has stressed that official figures may continue to move as local authorities and response teams reconcile data from different areas. That matters for both public understanding and aid planning.

The next decisive figures will come from updated official and UN-linked situation reports as damage assessments expand.
