In short
- Venezuela’s earthquake death toll has risen to 6,125, according to National Assembly President Jorge Rodriguez, as scrutiny grows over the government’s response.
The confirmed death toll from earthquakes in Venezuela has reached 6,125, National Assembly President Jorge Rodriguez said in a report published on August 3, 2026.
The figure represents a severe escalation in the scale of the disaster. The source report said the government’s response was facing scrutiny but did not provide a detailed regional breakdown of the deaths or a revised count of injuries and displaced residents.
Because casualty totals can change during rescue and recovery operations, the figure should be treated as the latest official count attributed to Rodriguez. Further confirmation from disaster-management authorities and independent humanitarian organizations remains important as assessments continue.
