Colombia Sets Up Reconstruction Fund After Earthquake
The Colombian President, Iván Duque, pledged to establish an emergency fund to rebuild hospitals, schools, homes, and infrastructure destroyed by the earthquake that struck the country on Monday with a magnitude of 7.4. The quake resulted in 265 deaths, 500 missing persons, and 3,770 injuries, while causing over 9,550 homes to be destroyed and triggering an economic emergency. Rescue efforts continue at a rapid pace, especially in the cities of Cali and Pereira, as the chances of finding survivors are nearing the end of the critical window. The government is also coordinating international aid, which has started arriving from Peru, Mexico, and El Salvador, to respond to the extensive damages caused by the earthquake.
