Venezuela: 12,500 Residents Still in Temporary Camps After Earthquakes

Two months after the devastating earthquakes that struck Venezuela, more than 12,500 survivors remain in temporary camps in La Guaira. The disaster left many families without homes and with profound personal losses, forcing them to endure harsh living conditions in makeshift shelters.

France 24 reporters Herminia Fernández and Julio Uribarris visited three of these camps to document the situation. The survivors are exposed to the elements, have limited access to medical care, and face a scarcity of humanitarian aid. The reports highlight the ongoing challenges of providing basic necessities and the psychological toll of displacement on the affected communities.

The continued presence of thousands in temporary shelters underscores the need for sustained relief efforts and long‑term rebuilding strategies. As authorities assess the damage, the focus remains on delivering essential services and supporting the community’s recovery in La Guaira.
