Venezuela starts demolishing quake-damaged structures
Venezuelan authorities have begun demolishing buildings in La Guaira state, the area most affected by the two earthquakes that struck the country last June, resulting in over 5,500 deaths, the destruction of 190 buildings, and damage to another 856. A 12-story leaning residential tower that had partially collapsed was blown up after a security perimeter was established. Hacking operations have been paused until all potential victims are found, with experts estimating around 10,000 people missing. The earthquakes caused injuries to approximately 17,000 individuals, and rescue teams continue search operations among the rubble.
