The President of the Venezuelan National Assembly, Jorge Rodriguez, announced that the confirmed death toll from the recent earthquakes has risen to 6,125. This figure marks a significant increase in the reported casualties as recovery efforts continue across the affected regions.

While the government has provided these official statistics, the response to the disaster has become a point of contention. Critics and various observers have begun to raise questions regarding the adequacy and speed of the government's emergency relief operations. While the government maintains that it is managing the crisis, reports indicate that the scale of the destruction has overwhelmed local resources, leading to mounting pressure on state officials to account for their disaster management strategies.

There is currently no independent verification of the death toll provided by international aid organizations or non-governmental observers, leaving the official government figures as the primary source of information regarding the scope of the tragedy. The situation remains fluid as search and rescue teams continue to navigate the aftermath of the seismic events.
