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 per cent of the debris generated by the quakes had been removed.
Acting President Delcy Rodriguez, who is backed by U.S. 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.
