Venezuela reels from quakes, inflation, housing collapse
What it means
Twin earthquakes killed nearly 4,500 people, displaced over 19,500, and destroyed hundreds of social housing units. Inflation doubled in June, worsening hardship.
Why it matters
The disasters expose systemic failures in housing quality and disaster response, while economic instability deepens the crisis. International aid from Russia and US is arriving.
How it affects you
Prices are rising faster, making food and basics harder to afford. Housing shortages and displacement may affect safety and living conditions in affected areas.
