Brief
Venezuela’s interim government raised the confirmed death toll from the country’s two earthquakes to 6,301. The total increased by 176 between weekly reports. Authorities have still not disclosed how many people remain missing, leaving the disaster’s final human toll uncertain.
A disaster with 6,301 confirmed deaths adds materially to Venezuela’s sovereign and operating risks during recovery. The lack of a missing-person count also means the event’s full scale remains unresolved, complicating any near-term assessment of its consequences and required response.
