The work of recovering the dead continues in Venezuela, where thousands of people died in the twin earthquakes at the end of June. At the same time, warnings are coming of serious environmental risks as all the rubble from the disaster is dealt with.
The double earthquake of 24 June in the north of the country generated more than 2.1 million tonnes of debris, according to the United Nations. After the appearance of rubble sites on the coast, environmental organisations denounce pollution of coastal ecosystems.
