The death toll from the double earthquake that occurred last Wednesday in the northern part of Venezuela rose to 1,719 and the number of injured to 5,034, the president of Parliament, Jorge Rodríguez, reported this Monday. “The number of people who lost their lives amounts to 1,719 and 5,034 people injured,” said Rodríguez during the assessment offered through the state channel Venezolana de Televisión (VTV) without giving an account of the number of missing people. Since the magnitude 7.2 and 7.5 earthquakes occurred, 609 aftershocks have been recorded, including this morning’s which, according to Rodríguez, was 4.2, although the United States Geological Survey stated that it was 4.6. “This morning we had an aftershock that was felt by the population (…) it generated some anxiety in the population but we must say that there was no impact,” he noted. So far, the Government registers 15,866 people affected and 855 buildings affected, of which “189 suffered a total collapse.”
