CARACAS, Venezuela (AFP) — The death toll in Venezuela’s devastating twin earthquakes last month has topped 4,300, a top lawmaker said Saturday.
National Assembly President Jorge Rodriguez — the brother of interim leader Delcy Rodriguez — put the toll at 4,333, up from 4,118 on Friday.
On June 24, the magnitude 7.2 and 7.5 earthquakes hit Caracas and the coastal state of La Guaira, flattening entire high-rise apartment blocks into layers of rubble.
