Eli Zavala, a resident of the region, told AFP that, the day after the earthquakes, they began to dig the graves "so that all these people would have decent graves." The burial sites "are numbered by plots and also by the code" defined so that unidentified bodies can be located by family members. Authorities also photographed each of the corpses before burial. The rectangles are delimited by white stones. On each grave, there is a small bouquet of flowers at the foot of a white cross, with a plaque that bears the inscription "Special identification" and the date of death: June 24, 2026.

An improvised warehouse to store bodies was set up in warehouses at the port of La Guaira. On Sunday, Venezuelans celebrated the date of independence in the midst of tragedy. In an event carried out with the Venezuelan flag flying at half-mast, the interim president, Delcy Rodríguez, ruled out a social upheaval in the face of complaints from those affected. "There will be no social upheaval, what exists here is the deep social solidarity of our people," said Rodríguez, who took power after the capture of Nicolás Maduro, at the beginning of the year, in an operation carried out by the United States. In the region devastated by the earthquake, residents told AFP they are outraged by the actions of the authorities. In La Guaira, many continue trying to recover the bodies of family members amid the rubble, in increasingly difficult conditions. "This is horrible (...), but I'm not moving from here because I know he's there. I found his motorbike, I found his helmet, he's there, God willing, he's still alive. If not, (I want) to at least find him, see him, we need to give them his eternal rest," Zuly, a woman looking for her 23-year-old son, who worked in a bakery, told AFP. Since the day of the double earthquake, she has slept with her daughter in a square next to the destroyed bakery, waiting to find him. "I won't leave here without my son", says the mother.
