Venezuelan Government Promises Housing Solutions Amid Earthquake Crisis

In the wake of devastating earthquakes in Venezuela, interim President Delcy Rodríguez has pledged to provide housing solutions for the over 17,000 people left homeless by the disaster by the end of the year. However, analysts express skepticism about the feasibility of this promise due to the country's dire economic situation, estimating reconstruction costs between $12 billion and $15 billion.
