· Telemundo McAllen (KTLM)
Eleven days after the double earthquake that struck Venezuela, efforts are focused on debris removal in La Guaira, the hardest-hit state. Heavy machinery is increasingly present in the streets as search and rescue operations decline. The government reported that around 16,309 people are now homeless, with 86,794 families receiving assistance and 80 temporary camps established. The death toll stands at 2,954, with 16,592 injured. Meanwhile, the initiative 'Desparecidos Terremoto Venezuela' has recorded over 31,000 missing persons. An international alliance has been formed to recover the damaged Maiquetía International Airport, as schools are set to reopen on Monday, excluding the most affected areas.
