Venezuela earthquake death toll rises as authorities plan temporary housing and seek international resources

Two earthquakes of magnitude 7.2 and 7.5 struck northern Venezuela on June 24, 2026, killing thousands and leaving tens of thousands homeless. National Assembly President Jorge Rodriguez announced rising death tolls and plans for temporary housing on July 12. Interim President Delcy Rodriguez has sought international financial resources, including requesting the Bank of England release Venezuela's gold reserves and asking the IMF to release emergency funds.
