The quakes, measuring 7.2 and 7.5 in magnitude, caused widespread destruction in the coastal state of La Guaira when they hit three weeks ago. According to Oman News Agency, a total of 20,857 displaced people are sheltering in camps, most of which lack adequate water supplies and functioning sanitation systems, Rodríguez said. The number of injured stands at 16,740, most of whom have been discharged from hospital after receiving treatment.
