Colombia searches for earthquake survivors
Rescue teams in Colombia continue searching for survivors after the 7.4 magnitude earthquake, which has resulted in at least 224 deaths and 600 injuries, in addition to the destruction of many buildings. Search efforts are progressing in the most affected areas, such as Cali, Pereira, and Manizales, where the latter city has experienced the collapse of numerous structures and many people trapped under the rubble. The country's president, Petróle De La Espiria, has declared a state of emergency to bolster rescue efforts, and some airports have been shut down due to damage to critical infrastructure. Reports indicate that 188 people have been lost in Cali alone, with teams using primitive tools and human chains to clear debris in an effort to save as many survivors as possible.
