Venezuelan Death Toll Reaches 1943
In 1943, 1,943 people lost their lives in Venezuela due to the double earthquake that struck the country, with magnitudes of 7.2 and 7.5 degrees. It was one of the most severe natural disasters to hit the region in over a century. The earthquake caused the destruction or damage of approximately 58,000 buildings, amid ongoing search and rescue efforts, with a severe shortage of food and shelters threatening the spread of epidemics. The disaster prompted the United States to increase its aid to reach 300 million dollars, and the La Guaira port was opened to facilitate the delivery of humanitarian assistance.
