Jorge Rodriguez, the President of the National Assembly of Venezuela, stated on social media on July 9 that the two strong earthquakes that recently occurred in the country had resulted in 3,889 deaths and 16,740 injuries. According to Reuters, Tom Fletcher, the Deputy Secretary-General of the United Nations responsible for humanitarian affairs and emergency relief coordination, said in an interview with the media that the humanitarian situation caused by the earthquakes in Venezuela far exceeded expectations, making rescue efforts extremely challenging. However, the United Nations and the Venezuelan government have established a coordination mechanism, effectively facilitating the rapid deployment of international aid.
