委内瑞拉6月24日遭遇两场强烈地震袭击，震级分别为7.2级和7.5级[1]。据议员Jorge Rodriguez于8月4日公布的数据，地震死亡人数已升至6125人，另有17000至29500人失踪[1]。
灾难造成近200座建筑倒塌，主要集中在沿海的拉瓜伊拉州[1]。除倒塌建筑外，还有超过16200座建筑被列为不安全结构[1]。清理工作进展缓慢，迄今已清除约35万吨废墟，仅占联合国开发计划署估计的210万吨总废墟的16.5%[1]。
数千名灾民目前居住在拉瓜伊拉州和加拉加斯的临时避难所[1]。为解决灾民的住房需求，委内瑞拉议会一致通过新法律，放宽房产租赁限制，便于受灾群众租住房产[1]。
Two earthquakes struck Venezuela on June 24, 2026, with magnitudes of 7.2 and 7.5, leaving a devastating toll on the country.[1] The confirmed death count has risen to 6,125 people, according to figures released by legislator Jorge Rodriguez on August 4.[1] Between 17,000 and 29,500 people remain missing, based on unofficial estimates.[1]
The seismic events caused widespread destruction across the nation, with nearly 200 buildings collapsing, predominantly concentrated in the coastal state of Laguaira.[1] Cleanup efforts have removed approximately 350,000 tons of debris, representing 16.5 percent of an estimated 2.1 million tons in total rubble assessed by the United Nations Development Programme.[1] More than 16,200 additional structures have been deemed unsafe.[1] Thousands of disaster survivors are currently sheltering in temporary facilities established in Laguaira and Caracas.[1]
In response to the humanitarian crisis, the Venezuelan parliament unanimously approved new legislation to facilitate housing relief for affected residents by relaxing property rental restrictions.[1]
