Nearly 4,000 confirmed dead after Venezuela's twin earthquakes

The death toll from the twin 7.2 and 7.5 magnitude earthquakes that struck Venezuela on June 24 has risen to at least 3,889, according to a report from National Assembly chief Jorge Rodriguez. Nearly 17,000 people were injured and 18,000 lost their homes. The United Nations launched an urgent appeal for $300 million in recovery funds, while interim leader Delcy Rodriguez called for the release of Venezuelan assets frozen abroad. In the hardest-hit coastal area of La Guaira, over 800 buildings were damaged and 190 collapsed entirely.
