Overview
- The government says the late‑June earthquakes have killed 4,829 people and injured 16,740, figures released by National Assembly president Jorge Rodríguez and described as provisional.
- Officials report 17,907 people left homeless and 20,903 people housed in 107 temporary reception centers while rescue and inspection teams continue to search damaged buildings.
- Authorities count 856 damaged buildings, including 190 that fully collapsed, and say unstable ground and poor construction contributed to the level of destruction.
- The government says it has distributed about 10,000 tonnes of food, more than 21 million liters of water, mobilized roughly 31,000 volunteers and 31,800 agents, and received international rescue teams and supplies from countries such as the United States, China, Brazil, Mexico and the United Kingdom.
- Officials estimate the recovery will require around 25,000 homes, creating an urgent housing and reconstruction challenge that will shape shelter, services and aid needs in the coming months.
