The death toll from twin earthquakes which ​struck Venezuela in June ‌has risen to 6,125, according to figures released ​by top lawmaker Jorge ​Rodriguez on Monday. Nearly 61,000 ⁠people were attended to ​at hospitals, the graphic ​published by Rodriguez on Telegram showed, adding that 16.5% of ​the debris generated ​by the quakes had been removed. Acting ‌President ⁠Delcy Rodriguez, who is backed by US President Donald Trump, has defended ​the ​government’s ⁠response amid criticism that military personnel and ​other officials arrived ​late ⁠and have done little to help victims of ⁠the ​quake, including people ​who were trapped in the rubble.
