Venezuelan Vice President Delcy Rodríguez announced Monday morning that large parts of La Guaira state, the epicenter of last week's devastating earthquake, have been reconnected to the electricity grid, according to N12. The announcement comes five days after the twin tremors — the most powerful to strike the country since 1900 according to US monitoring data — devastated parts of Venezuela, killing at least 164 people and wounding hundreds, as The Zioneer previously reported. Rodríguez had earlier declared La Guaira a military zone, and foreign rescue teams are now on site. The extent of remaining infrastructure damage in areas not yet reconnected remains unclear.
