USGS Warns Venezuela Quake Death Toll Could Reach Tens of Thousands
The U.S. Geological Survey estimated that the death toll from the earthquakes in Venezuela could range from 10,000 to 100,000. The figure is an early projection, not an official government count, and it underscores the scale of the possible disaster.
So far, authorities in Venezuela have reported four deaths in different areas of the capital, Caracas. They have not yet released official estimates for either fatalities or injuries.
The article does not identify the size, timing, or full extent of the quake damage, but the wide gap between the official reports and the USGS projection suggests that the situation remains highly uncertain. More information is expected as authorities continue assessing the impact.
