Caracas.- <\/strong>The acting president of Venezuela, Delcy Rodr\u00edguez<\/strong>, announced economic measures this Saturday to help families affected by the double earthquake ten days ago, amidst episodes of unrest in the state of La Guaira, where they are crying out for assistance to continue recovering bodies, as well as to be relocated.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Rodr\u00edguez reported on a monthly payment for the next six months to those most affected by the earthquakes,<\/strong> as well as contact with Venezuelan banks to activate the mortgage portfolio with subsidies of up to 80%.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In addition, he said that next week a plan for the recovery of the Maiquet\u00eda International Airport, which serves Caracas<\/strong>, will be ready, which includes international alliances, which he did not specify.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Tensions<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

A group of residents blocked the main access road to Caraballeda this Saturday, one of the epicenters of the 7.2 and 7.5 magnitude double earthquake, to pressure the government to relocate them, as they were promised, to the Las Caracas hotel complex, located several kilometers from the area.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Other families complain that fewer vehicles are delivering food while they continue to wait for the recovery of their relatives’ bodies, as there are now fewer rescuers left in the country.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Figures<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The death toll rose to 2,954, while the number of injured increased to 16,592, as reported by the President of Parliament, Jorge Rodr\u00edguez.<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

At least 6,462 people have been rescued and 16,309 lost their homes. As of Thursday, there were at least 157 people missing, while a website developed by technicians and civil society reports that more than 31,000 people have not been able to be contacted by their relatives.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Infrastructure assessment<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The Venezuelan government is trying to accelerate debris removal work and is assessing the damage caused to infrastructure following the double earthquake.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In La Guaira, asphalt paving and bridge recovery work continued, as well as the evaluation of other road infrastructure projects, as reported by the Minister of Transport, Jacqueline Far\u00edas.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Connectivity<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The telephone companies Digitel and Movistar Venezuela are working to restore connectivity in La Guaira<\/strong> with the help of Starlink, as well as by enabling free Wi-Fi connection points in shelters in the coastal region.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Digitel reported in a press release that it has been able to recover 88.9% of its infrastructure in the region, while Movistar reports 70.2%.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Decoration and farewell<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Rodr\u00edguez decorated and bid farewell to rescuers from seven countries, who join the rescue groups from nearly twenty nations that on Friday received the Heroes of Venezuela distinction for their work following the recent earthquakes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Hern\u00e1n Gil, the security guard who was rescued after being buried under the rubble for eight days following the earthquakes, called on rescuers to continue the search for people who, like him, are “clinging to life,” even though ten days have passed since the disaster.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Follow the humanitarian aid<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The Dominican Government and the airline Aerojet arranged a humanitarian flight to Venezuela, which transported a mobile hospital, medicines, and essential supplies, aimed at strengthening the response capacity of the Venezuelan authorities in the areas impacted by the disaster.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Brazil sent six tons of vaccines, medicines, and medical supplies on its sixth humanitarian aid flight to assist the victims of the earthquake.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Spanish cooperation begins<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The field hospital set up by Spanish cooperation began operating this Saturday in a Caracas park, with outpatient capacity to provide basic healthcare<\/strong> and emergency care without hospitalization, operating self-sufficiently, with its own power and water.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This operation, by the START group (Spanish Technical Aid and Emergency Response Team), will be operational for one month to assist the affected population and anyone in need of any medical attention, and it has the capacity for up to 200 patients per day.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
