In the coastal state of Anzategoy in East Venezuela, landslides and floods brought on by torrential rains killed at least 7 people, according to regional authorities in Venezuela on Friday.
Six bodies were discovered in Puerto La Cruz, according to state governor Luis Marcano, and a child’s body was also discovered in Guanta, which is close by.
Nearly 80 people have been killed in the country in recent weeks due to heavy rains, including 54 in a landslide on October 8, according to official reports.
In Anzategoy, a thousand volunteers and rescuers were stationed.
Prior to this, Venezuelan President Nicholas Maduro declared on Monday that a landslide collapse in the nation’s north had claimed at least three lives.
Maduro explained that preliminary information also indicates severe material damage due to the ground collapse that occurred in the El Castano neighborhood of Maracai, the capital of Aragoa, which is 80 km from Caracas.
Rainfall in Venezuela has been unusually heavy since September. In Las Techiab, which has 50,000 residents and is at the base of a mountain, the torrential rains resulted in landslides and flooding of tables.
In the northern state of Vargas in 1999, a landslide claimed the lives of nearly 10,000 people.
Venezuela experiences ongoing crises.
In addition to natural calamities, the population of Venezuela continues to flee violence, unrest, and threats, as well as a lack of basic necessities like food and medication.
With almost 5 million Venezuelans now living abroad, the majority of them in nations in Latin America and the Caribbean, Venezuela has one of the worst displacement crises in the entire globe.
7 persons in Venezuela are killed by heavy rain.
