Venezuelan Death Toll Reaches 2,295 as Aid Workers Warn of Looming Health Crisis

The official death toll from the June 24 earthquakes in Venezuela has risen to 2,295 people. However, forensic experts and critics suggest the government may be undercounting the actual number of casualties. Rescue teams continue to search for survivors among collapsed buildings while families face extreme hunger and despair. Some observers argue the disaster has highlighted long-standing political and infrastructure failures within the country. Medical experts now warn of a potential health crisis because survivors lack clean water and relief centers are overwhelmed. Despite these challenges, humanitarian aid is reaching the affected areas. Organizations in South Florida are sending supplies to help families searching for their loved ones in what workers describe as a war zone.
