The country is currently counting 12,841 affected people, Rodriguez said during a daily update on the country's situation after the earthquakes. He said 6,461 people had been rescued by international and domestic rescue workers and volunteers. The government has mobilized more than 26,000 soldiers, police and fire personnel in the search and rescue operation, with an additional 17,000 volunteers providing logistical support. Rodriguez, who also heads the command center for the creation of temporary camps, called on health workers, security personnel and firefighters to register on the Patria platform in order to address housing problems caused by the earthquakes. He said 25 temporary camps were active, including 13 in La Guaira, eight in Caracas, two in Miranda, one in Carabobo and one in Yaracuy. Rodriguez said authorities were moving quickly to equip the camps and transfer affected people there. There are 4,099 international rescue workers, 153 search and rescue dogs, and 49 support vehicles assisting in search and rescue operations and the transfer of affected people. Since June 24, Venezuela has recorded 782 aftershocks, though their frequency and magnitude have decreased, said Rodriguez. On Wednesday, Venezuela's Acting President Delcy Rodriguez declared seven days of national mourning in tribute to the victims of the powerful earthquakes. Two powerful earthquakes, both measuring above magnitude 7.0, struck the country in rapid succession on June 24. [Restrictions: No access Chinese mainland]
