Entire neighbourhoods were flattened by the earthquakes, with thousands of people still believed to be missing.
Although the Venezuelan government has not released an official figure for those unaccounted for beneath the rubble, the United Nations estimates that as many as 50,000 people may still be missing.
Many survivors remain in temporary shelters set up on streets, in public parks and in car parks as relief efforts continue.
With hopes of finding more survivors fading, emergency operations have shifted towards recovering bodies and clearing debris. International search and rescue teams have also begun withdrawing from the country.
Families continue to search for missing relatives in the hope of recovering their remains for burial.
On Sunday, authorities began burying dozens of unidentified victims in a mass grave at La Esperanza cemetery in La Guaira.
A row of simple white crosses, each adorned with a small bouquet of flowers and bearing the date "24 June 2026", marked the individual graves of the unidentified victims.
