UN monitors Colombia after quake
The United Nations has confirmed that it is closely monitoring the developments of the earthquake that struck western Colombia with a magnitude of 7.4. The quake has resulted in the deaths of 111 people and injured 87 others, with hundreds of buildings damaged in the area. The earthquake, which occurred near San José del Palmar at a depth of 107 kilometers, caused widespread destruction and its effects were felt in neighboring countries such as Panama, Ecuador, and Venezuela. Initial communication was challenging due to weak communications in rural areas. Colombian authorities have begun precautionary evacuations, and the United Nations is preparing to provide aid, while rescue teams continue searching for survivors beneath the rubble.
