Luis Silva performs in solidarity with earthquake victims in Venezuela

Venezuelan singer Luis Silva performed in Playa Verde, La Guaira, offering a moment of solidarity for victims of the devastating earthquakes that struck the country exactly one month prior. His performance was part of a public act of remembrance for the lives lost in the seismic events.

During his appearance, Silva sang the patriotic song "Venezuela," creating an emotional highlight for attendees. The date marked a solemn occasion across the nation, with synchronized moments of silence, ringing bells, and lit candles observed at 6:04 p.m., the precise time the magnitude 7.2 and 7.5 earthquakes hit. The artist's presence offered comfort to those affected by the disaster, reinforcing the symbolic significance of the day as reconstruction efforts continue.

Official figures released by the President of the National Assembly, Jorge Rodríguez, indicate a grim toll from the twin earthquakes. The death toll has risen to 5,546, with an additional 148 fatalities recently added to the count. The number of injured stands at 16,740, and nearly 18,000 people have been left homeless. The disaster also impacted infrastructure, with 856 buildings affected and 190 collapsing. Since the initial quakes on June 24, approximately 1,500 aftershocks have been recorded.

In related efforts, over 240 families recently received the first homes delivered by the government to earthquake survivors. The handover ceremony in Caracas was led by acting president Delcy Rodríguez and her brother, Jorge Rodríguez, at the Fuerte Tiuna military complex. The ongoing reconstruction and support for survivors remain critical one month after the catastrophic earthquakes.
