Post-earthquake recovery in Vargas, Venezuela: Persistent water shortages and partial power restoration

One month after a double earthquake on June 24, Venezuela's official recovery efforts have largely stalled, with citizens leading search operations for thousands of missing persons. The confirmed death toll has reached 5,400, primarily in La Guaira and Vargas, while critical infrastructure, including water and power, remains severely disrupted. The government faces widespread criticism for its inadequate response and lack of transparent data, exacerbating humanitarian distress and civil unrest.
