Inadequate Government Response
As reported by The Guardian, many Venezuelans believe the government's response has been inadequate, with citizens feeling abandoned in their efforts to rescue trapped loved ones.
The official death toll has risen to 4,490, and with ongoing recovery efforts, this number may continue to grow.
Delcy Rodríguez, Venezuela's acting president, has dismissed public criticism as part of a propaganda campaign.
She claimed that her administration and the armed forces are working diligently to assist victims, but her visit to the region has been largely devoid of interaction with affected families.
