However, Rodríguez lamented that minor, malicious sectors have tried to spread fake news to cause panic. Specifically, he debunked recent rumors regarding alleged structural damage to the critical Caracas-La Guaira viaduct. Technical specialists inspect this infrastructure every 12 hours, confirming it remains in perfect condition.

Consequently, the official urged citizens to maintain calm and national unity, emphasizing the importance of consulting only official statements released by the Bolivarian Government. Rodriguez emphasized that disinformation hurts relief operations. To prevent traffic and logistical congestion, he asked volunteers not to travel independently to La Guaira state. This measure ensures that professional search and rescue operations can continue working against the clock without external interference.

Unified Relief Logistics
Instead of independent travel, authorities established organized channels for those wishing to help. Volunteers must register systematically at the Poliedro of Caracas. Furthermore, citizens should deliver all donations of food and essential supplies to designated collection points. This centralized strategy prevents logistical bottlenecks and specifically protects the critical cold chain of perishable goods, ensuring resources reach survivors in optimal condition.
The state has deployed a robust humanitarian network to address the emergency. Currently, over 30,000 national specialized personnel are active on the ground. This domestic deployment is reinforced by international solidarity, with 21 international delegations providing 2,242 expert rescuers and technical assistance. These combined forces are working continuously in the most affected areas to locate survivors and clear debris.

Global Solidary Support
The devastating seismic events occurred on Wednesday. The initial tremor began at 6:05 P.M. local time, followed 39 seconds later by the main 7.5 magnitude shock. Because the hypocenter was at a shallow depth of 13.2 kilometers, the seismic activity caused severe destruction. The highest impact occurred in Caracas and La Guaira, although authorities also reported significant damage in Aragua, Carabobo and other states.
As of June 27, official figures confirm 1,430 deceased individuals and 3,238 injured citizens. The Venezuelan Government continues to coordinate medical attention, temporary shelter and psychological support for the victims, reiterating its commitment to rebuilding the affected infrastructure and supporting every family impacted by this natural disaster.
