Venezuela's Public Works Ministry has published the official list of 39 buildings slated for demolition in La Guaira in the coming weeks. The structures suffered severe damage in the earthquakes of June 24.

The demolitions form part of measures by the interim government to reduce risks in areas affected by the earthquakes. Once the buildings come down, workers will transfer the debris to the Temporary Disposal Centre in Caraballeda for crushing.

The facility can process up to 600 tonnes of debris per hour. Authorities said it operates under strict environmental protection protocols designed to keep the waste from reaching nearby beaches.

The list includes buildings and residential complexes in Catia La Mar, Macuto, Tanaguarena, Playa Grande, Maiquetía and Caraballeda. Security forces will guard the various work zones, while a specialized technical team will direct the demolition and the safe movement of debris to the collection centre in Caraballeda.
