New unverified figures for the catastrophic Venezuelan earthquakes put the death toll at 1,450, with approximately 3,500 wounded and around 50,000 still missing. The latest count, which surpasses Monday's official toll of 1,400, comes from a single source and has not been independently confirmed.
New unverified figures published Monday afternoon by a single source place the death toll from the catastrophic Venezuelan earthquakes at 1,450, with approximately 3,500 wounded and roughly 50,000 still missing. The number of dead is slightly lower than the nearly 1,500 reported by an unconfirmed claim Saturday evening, but remains higher than the official toll of 1,400 announced by interim President Delcy Rodríguez on Monday, June 29.
The thread has seen casualty figures shift repeatedly without independent corroboration. On Thursday, June 25 at 20:41 Jerusalem, Israeli broadcaster Channel 14 first reported a powerful earthquake with fears of thousands dead. By Thursday 22:02, an unverified estimate put the missing at 30,000. A senior Venezuelan lawmaker's announcement Saturday at 20:24 Jerusalem raised the official death toll to 1,430, per an Israeli media report, while a separate unconfirmed report that same evening claimed nearly 1,500 dead. Unverified reports Sunday, June 28, estimated 68,900 missing. The new numbers — 1,450 dead, 3,500 wounded, 50,000 missing — come from a single source and lack independent confirmation.
As The Zioneer reported on Monday, June 29, experts had already warned the final death toll could reach 55,000, and an Israeli urban-search-and-rescue team from the private firm Magen is operating on site. Communications in disaster zones remain disrupted.
All casualty figures — deaths, wounded, and missing — remain unverified and lack independent corroboration.
