The figure of more than 304,000 affected people with access to assistance as of 14 August 2026 comes from OCHA and is not independently evidenced in this IOM document.
According to OCHA, the response was coordinated in a multisectoral manner and the UN and its partners continued expanding assistance for 1.3 million affected people over the following six months.
#### Takeaways
- The IOM report is an operational window from 11 to 13 August 2026.
- Las cifras agregadas de asistencia deben atribuirse a OCHA, no a OIM, salvo evidencia separada.
- Multisectoral coordination and the 1.3 million target are likely OCHA assertions.
- The 24 June seismic event is the common frame of all reports.

OCHA document framing the response to the 24 June 2026 earthquakes; contains impact figures and a six-month planning target.
The OCHA addendum to the 2026 Humanitarian Response Plan is the primary planning document for the response to the 24 June 2026 earthquakes. According to OCHA, the UN and its partner organizations continued to scale up the response to meet the needs of 1.3 million affected people over the following six months; this figure is a probable planning target, not a confirmed count.
As of 14 August 2026, more than 304,000 affected people had accessed humanitarian assistance and essential services, according to OCHA; 57% of those who accessed them were women and girls.
As of 10 August 2026, authorities reported 6,301 people dead and 73,356 people treated in hospitals because of the earthquakes. The humanitarian response was coordinated multisectorally among humanitarian organizations, United Nations agencies, communities, and national and local authorities.

### A research estimate of physical damage from the 24 June quakes

- Publisher: ucv.ve
- Source type: research
- Registry title: Analytical damage estimate for the 24 June 2026 Venezuela earthquakes
- Editorial note: Read as a technical modeling source; it does not replace operational situation reports or official casualty and assistance figures.
- Original: [Open source]()
A research document hosted on ucv.ve offers an analytical damage estimate; pair it with official and humanitarian reporting for operational figures.
Confirmed reporting places two earthquakes of magnitudes 7.2 and 7.5 in central-northern Venezuela on 24 June 2026. This research document presents an analytical estimation of physical damage from that event.
The source is best used for technical damage modeling rather than for casualty or assistance totals. Official figures as of 10 August 2026 reported 6,301 deaths and 73,356 people treated in hospitals, according to authorities cited by reliefweb.int and crisisresponse.iom.int.
Humanitarian access figures are separate: by 14 August 2026, more than 304,000 affected people had accessed assistance and essential services, per reliefweb.int, with 57% of those assisted being women and girls.
Read this document alongside situation reports from OCHA, PAHO and news outlets; it does not independently establish the coordination or planning figures in the verified claims.
#### Takeaways
- Analytical damage estimates are distinct from operational casualty and assistance data.
- Use official and humanitarian sources for the 10 August and 14 August figures.
- Do not treat this research document as confirmation of the 1.3 million planning target.

- Original: [Open source]()
A PAHO/WHO situation report documents the health response; use it for health-sector context, not for overall casualty or assistance totals.
Confirmed reporting places two earthquakes of magnitudes 7.2 and 7.5 in central-northern Venezuela on 24 June 2026. This PAHO/WHO situation report is a health-sector source for the response.
Authorities reported 6,301 deaths and 73,356 people treated in hospitals as of 10 August 2026, according to reliefweb.int and crisisresponse.iom.int. The hospital figure should be read as people treated in hospitals, as reported by authorities.

The response was coordinated multisectorally among humanitarian organizations, UN agencies, communities and national and local authorities, per reliefweb.int and crisisresponse.iom.int. This report should be read as one sectoral input to that broader effort.
#### Takeaways
- Health-sector reporting is one part of a multisectoral response.
- Keep hospital-treated figures distinct from deaths and from assistance access figures.
- Use the 10 August and 14 August dates when citing casualty and assistance numbers.

- Source type: primary\_document
- Registry title: Health response to the first month of the earthquakes in Venezuela (PAHO/WHO, 24 July 2026)
- Editorial note: Read as a primary health sector document; separate the health narrative from the multisectoral totals of casualties and assistance reported by authorities and OCHA.
- Original: [Open source]()
A primary document dated July 24, 2026 places the health response within a larger emergency, without replacing the consolidated casualty and assistance figures.
This PAHO/WHO document, dated July 24, 2026, provides an overview of the health response during the first month after the two earthquakes of magnitudes 7.2 and 7.5 that struck north-central Venezuela on June 24, 2026.
It should be read alongside the multisectoral figures: as of August 10, 2026, authorities reported 6,301 people dead and 73,356 people treated in hospitals because of the earthquakes. By August 14, 2026, more than 304,000 affected people had accessed humanitarian assistance and essential services, according to OCHA, and, according to the same report, 57% of them were women and girls.
The response was coordinated in a multisectoral manner among humanitarian organizations, United Nations agencies, communities, and national and local authorities. The UN and its partner organizations continued to scale up the response to meet the needs of 1.3 million affected people over the following six months, according to OCHA.
The value of this source lies in its sectoral health perspective; it should not be used to derive casualty or assistance totals, which belong to the reports of authorities and OCHA with their respective dates.
#### Takeaways
- Primary PAHO/WHO document dated July 24, 2026 on the first month of health response.
- Consolidated casualty and assistance figures come from authorities and OCHA, not from this sectoral document.
- La respuesta fue multisectorial e incluyó a agencias de Naciones Unidas, comunidades y autoridades.
- The target of 1.3 million people is a six-month planning target, according to OCHA, distinct from the people already assisted.
