The death toll from the June 24 double earthquake in Venezuela has risen to 5,346, with 16,740 injured and 190 buildings collapsed. The ongoing seismic activity, with 1,405 aftershocks, complicates recovery efforts and exacerbates a developing public health crisis marked by increased vector-borne and infectious diseases.
