  "summary": "Venezuela's interim government has reported 6,509 deaths from the powerful twin earthquakes that struck the country on June 24, surpassing the previous death toll of 6,438. The magnitude 7.2 and 7.5 tremors devastated the coastal state of La Guaira, where at least 190 buildings collapsed. Thousands of people left homeless by the quakes are living in makeshift camps, and the government has provided 335 homes to quake victims, with a pledge to provide 4,000 by the end of the year. Efforts to recover bodies from the rubble continue in La Guaira.",
