Survivors of Venezuela's June 24 earthquakes sheltered in tents in Caracas on Tuesday (June 30), as authorities and aid agencies warned of mounting needs among thousands of people left homeless.

At the refugee camp, displaced residents described fear, trauma and uncertainty after the twin quakes. Ana Espinoza, who lost her home, said many Venezuelans had never experienced such strong shaking and remained anxious after continued tremors and heavy rain.

According to NASA estimates, about 59,000 buildings were damaged or destroyed by the earthquakes, which struck seconds apart with magnitudes of 7.2 and 7.5.

The government of acting President Delcy Rodriguez said at least 1,750 people died, thousands were injured and about 16,000 were left homeless.

The United Nations warned of growing risks from hunger and disease, while the World Food Programme appealed for $50 million to provide emergency food assistance to up to 500,000 people over three months.

"In my country, Venezuela, we had never experienced such a strong earthquake, and much less two in a row. Many of us lost our homes. It was the kind of situation: ‘You close your eyes and never want to go through again,’ because it was very intense. And lately, right now, it has been shaking a lot. We are still feeling the same fear, the same situation as on June 24, Saint John's Day. Last night, yesterday, it rained a lot and there was thunder. The first thing I thought was, ‘God, please don't let it keep raining,’ because I was afraid of another quake."

"I am a little traumatized. I was five years old on the day of the 1967 earthquake, and that has stayed with me. Any little rain, any small thing, affects me. Well, what can I say? God knows why he does things."

"Well, emotionally, honestly, (I feel) bad. But personally, I have tried to help people here. I have still been at the main entrance, helping out, sending tents to our affected brothers and sisters. We are helping in every way we can. We have to come together because here is the loneliness of the Venezuelan people."
