Portugal has updated its casualty figures from the devastating Venezuela earthquakes, reporting that 28 Portuguese citizens or individuals of Portuguese descent have been confirmed killed. The figure was reported early Saturday, Jerusalem time, as the consolidation of nationality-based casualty data continues amid the broader disaster.
As The Zioneer reported on Friday, June 26, the overall confirmed death toll exceeded 920, with over 3,360 wounded. Earlier Friday, Spain confirmed three Spanish nationals dead and 99 missing. The updated Portuguese toll reflects ongoing efforts by foreign governments to account for their citizens in the disaster zones. The total number of missing persons across all nationalities has been estimated at roughly 50,000, though that figure remains unverified.
