Earthquake debris dumped on La Guaira beach

In La Guaira, Venezuela, tons of debris from buildings destroyed by recent earthquakes are being dumped along the shoreline. The area affected stretches along the coast connecting Tanaguarena and Naiguatá.

Social communicator and paramedic Rodolfo García reported on Instagram that local authorities are using dump trucks, some belonging to Petróleos de Venezuela (Pdvsa), to move the structural remains. The edge of the road is now serving as a disposal site for the solid material from buildings that collapsed on Wednesday, June 24.

A video shared by García shows a machine loading debris from a dump truck and moving it towards the beach. In the footage, residents can be seen climbing the piles of rubble, apparently searching for anything they can salvage.

According to the official government report from interim governor Delcy Rodríguez, over 100 buildings in La Guaira collapsed following the strong earthquakes registered in the country on June 24.

The edge of this road is being used to discard all the solid material resulting from the collapsed buildings last Wednesday, June 24.
