A report updated as of 06:00 on the day in question details that Venezuela's emergency infrastructure has a total installed capacity of 20,227 spots. This survey was published on the Telegram platform.
Situation in affected states
The state of La Guaira, considered the most affected by the tremors, concentrates the largest number of sheltered individuals, totaling 8,613 citizens distributed across 26 camps. Venezuelan authorities reported that eight of these centers are undergoing an expansion process.
In the capital, Caracas, 39 provisional fields have been established with capacity for 11,192 people, of which 4,961 are already occupied by affected individuals. Additionally, in the state of Miranda, located north of Caracas, 22 fields remain active, offering space for 2,003 people, with 1,060 current residents.
Assistance and recovery efforts
The Minister of Education declared that various entities, including state, private, community institutions, and multilateral organizations, are collaborating to increase both logistical and human capacities, ensuring that every family receives the necessary support.
The United Nations Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs (OCHA) informed EFE on Sunday that displaced people in La Guaira were relocated to other areas that did not suffer major damage.
Thirteen days after the double seismic event that shook Venezuela, priority work is focused on removing debris from collapsed buildings in La Guaira and recovering the bodies of victims.
Victim and rescuer toll
According to the latest tally released by the Government on Monday, 6,462 people have been rescued, maintaining this number since last Thursday. Furthermore, 17,854 people lost their homes. Official reports indicate a total of 3,535 deaths and 16,740 injuries. The number of missing people remains at 157 since June 25, although the United Nations has estimated this figure at 50,000.
Among the deceased, there are at least 97 Portuguese nationals and Lusitanian descendants, and another 59 are classified as missing or out of contact. Several nations, including Portugal and other European Union members, have sent search and rescue teams to Venezuela.

The Portuguese Ministry of Foreign Affairs announced that tons of humanitarian aid, tools, and two equipped ambulances are being sent to Caracas. The professionals sent after the seismic shocks will return to Portugal. The earthquakes, with magnitudes of 7.2 and 7.5, occurred 200 kilometers from Caracas, separated by less than a minute, and were followed by hundreds of aftershocks, according to data from the United States Geological Survey.
