The death toll from the twin earthquakes that struck Venezuela on 24 June has risen to 3,342, while 16,740 people have been injured, National Assembly President Jorge Rodríguez said on Sunday.
In an update posted on Telegram, Rodríguez said 6,462 people had been rescued since the two powerful earthquakes, measuring magnitude 7.2 and 7.5, struck the country.
According to official figures, 17,345 people have been displaced, while authorities have recorded 995 aftershocks since the disaster.
To support those affected, the government has established 80 temporary shelters across the country. Rescue operations also remain under way, with 29,567 personnel deployed, including 3,281 international rescue workers, according to the latest official update.
Acting President Delcy Rodríguez has declared seven days of national mourning in memory of those killed in the disaster.
"In honour of the memory of the victims, I have decided to decree seven days of national mourning, beginning at 6.00pm today," she said in a statement posted on social media.
Describing the earthquakes as a national tragedy, Rodríguez said the government stood with those affected.
"At this time of profound sorrow, we embrace all those suffering from this tragedy and reaffirm our commitment to support and protect them," she said, adding that "Venezuela's soul has been torn apart by the human losses caused by these devastating earthquakes."
Authorities have also said that tens of thousands of people remain missing, raising concerns that the death toll could increase further.
Meanwhile, Indian medical teams have continued providing emergency healthcare under Operation Amistad, launched by New Delhi in response to the disaster.
According to videos shared by India's Ministry of External Affairs (MEA) on X, survivors and their families expressed gratitude to the Indian Army's field hospital for providing medical treatment and humanitarian assistance.
In one of the videos, a woman whose son was receiving treatment thanked India and the medical team for their care.
India launched Operation Amistad to support Venezuela following the devastating earthquakes, which caused widespread destruction and one of the country's deadliest natural disasters in recent history.
