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.
