The United States resumes deportation flights to Venezuela after deadly earthquakes
The United States has resumed deportation operations that were suspended after devastating earthquakes struck Venezuela in June. A plane departing from Miami landed in Venezuela with 147 deported migrants on board.
The United States has resumed deportation flights for undocumented migrants to Venezuela after earthquakes that killed thousands of people in the country. CNN reported that a plane departing from Miami landed in Venezuela’s northeastern Anzoátegui state with 147 deported migrants on board.
According to data from the United States Geological Survey (USGS), two earthquakes measuring 7.2 and 7.5 in magnitude struck Venezuela on June 24, 39 seconds apart. The earthquakes killed 6,125 people.
The United Nations Development Programme (UNDP) estimated on June 26 that the direct material damage caused by the earthquakes amounted to $6.7 billion. Deportation operations had been temporarily suspended after the disaster.
People deported earlier died in a hotel
Before the earthquakes, the United States had deported 146 undocumented migrants to Venezuela. They were placed in a hotel, but the building collapsed in the earthquakes, killing most of the people inside.
Deportation operations, which had been suspended after the tragedy, have now resumed.
