Meanwhile, the world’s solidarity continues with the arrival of tons of humanitarian aid to assist the victims, who are receiving comprehensive support from the government, and the ongoing support of more than 2,000 international rescue workers.

Delivering 200 homes just a few days after the 7.2 and 7.5 magnitude earthquakes shows the joint effort of the Bolivarian State and the private sector, which are working in a coordinated and accelerated manner to build new houses and buildings. The most recent official data stated the difficulty of this sensitive issue, perhaps one of the most complex to resolve due to the magnitude of the devastation, lies in the fact that some 17,907 people were left homeless, 856 buildings were affected, and 190 collapsed completely.

National Assembly (Parliament) President Jorge Rodriguez announced on Saturday that initial estimates indicate a need for 25,000 homes to assist the affected families, 120,794 of which had received assistance from the national government until Sunday.

In terms of solidarity, Venezuela continued to receive international humanitarian aid with recent arrivals from Russia, the Caribbean Community, Turkiye, Panama, Puerto Rico, the United States, Barbados, the World Food Program (WFP), and the NGO Goal Global.
