A new landfill has been opened in the capital of Venezuela

Venezuela is going through a difficult situation due to a series of natural disasters that have occurred one after another. This was reported by Zamin.uz.

Today, on July 11, an earthquake of magnitude 3 was recorded in the capital city of Caracas. International public information media reported on this incident.

According to the latest data, the number of people who died as a result of the strong earthquake that occurred on June 24 of this year has reached 4,118. In addition, more than 16,740 people sustained injuries of varying severity.

Thousands of citizens remain on the list of missing persons, which suggests that the number of victims may still increase. According to specialists, this natural disaster is one of the most destructive and devastating earthquakes observed in Venezuela's history over the past more than a hundred years.

In particular, in the state of La-Guayra located on the coast, many residential buildings, schools, and other important infrastructure facilities were either completely destroyed or seriously damaged. Officials announced that search and rescue operations under the rubble have been completed.

However, local residents, who have not received any news from their relatives, continue to search for their loved ones independently among the debris, not losing hope. The earthquake that occurred on July 11 caused panic among the capital's population, and as a precaution, people were evacuated from several multi-story buildings to safe locations.

At the same time, the United Nations appealed to the world community to allocate emergency assistance of approximately 300 million US dollars to alleviate the humanitarian crisis in Venezuela. According to preliminary estimates, the total damage inflicted on the country's economy, especially on housing and infrastructure systems, has exceeded 37 billion US dollars.

Currently, reconstruction efforts and aid to the affected are being organized in the country.
