Day Four After Venezuela's Twin Quakes: Official Toll at 1,450 Dead and 12,721 Displaced, Rescue Teams From 27 Countries on Site
On June 28, 2026, the fourth day after Venezuela was struck by consecutive magnitude 7.2 and 7.5 earthquakes on June 24, the United Nations Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs (OCHA) issued its Situation Report No. 5. Citing official Venezuelan figures as of 5:00 p.m. on June 28, the report put the official toll at 1,450 people dead, 3,150 injured and 12,721 displaced, with the figures still rising and under review.
The report said more than 512 aftershocks had been recorded since the twin quakes, that at least seven states had been impacted, and that La Guaira State continued to record the highest level of impact. At least 2,501 infrastructures were reported affected, including 38 hospitals and 774 buildings.
Urban Search and Rescue (USAR) teams from at least 27 countries had arrived in Venezuela and were operating in the most affected areas in coordination with OCHA, the report said, and the United Nations system and its partners would deliver a multi-sectoral response at three strategic locations in La Guaira. The Venezuelan government's response has focused on search and rescue, emergency medical care and damage assessments.
The figures in this report are those of the June 28 report; the parameters and course of the twin earthquakes themselves are covered in GSM's main report.
