Venezuela's official death toll from the devastating twin earthquakes climbed to nearly 4,500 Sunday, with the government reporting that more than 19,500 people are now living in camps due to widespread destruction.
The latest toll offered by the government on its official Telegram account listed 4,490 as dead – about 150 higher than the day prior – and 16,740 injured.
It did not give an estimate for the number of people still unaccounted for.
On June 24, the magnitude 7.2 and 7.5 earthquakes hit Caracas and the coastal state of La Guaira, flattening entire high-rise apartment blocks into layers of rubble.
Camps for families left homeless have sprung up in stadiums, plazas, and on sidewalks in La Guaira and nearby Caracas.
