Venezuela still awaits reconstruction 90 days after the earthquakes

Ninety days after the earthquakes recorded on June 24, 2026, Amnesty International denounced the opacity of the Venezuelan interim government and the slow humanitarian response to assist those affected, according to a report published by the outlet Runrunes.

Rebuilding infrastructure, basic services and the social fabric after the double seismic event will require an allocation of about $21 billion, according to a technical report from the United Nations Development Programme (UNDP) disseminated by Descifrado.

Meanwhile, Petróleos de Venezuela (PDVSA) recorded a 76% increase in its export revenue at the close of the second four-month period of 2026 compared with the same period a year earlier, reaching a cumulative total of $17.2 billion, according to data published by Bitácora Económica.

The lack of official information on the allocation of resources and the execution of humanitarian aid programs leaves families affected by the emergency in uncertainty, while international assessments detail the scale of the funds needed to recover the affected areas.
