Colombia switches to body recovery after quake
The earthquake that struck the "San Jose del Palmar" region in Colombia with a magnitude of 7.4 on the Richter scale at the beginning of the week represents one of the worst natural disasters affecting the country. It has resulted in the death of approximately 294 people, injury to over 4,200, and left about 140 people missing. After a week has passed, rescue teams have begun shifting their efforts from searching for survivors to recovering bodies from the rubble, especially in heavily affected cities such as Cali and Pereira. Buildings were extensively destroyed, with homes, churches, schools, and hospitals all damaged, amid concerns about aftershocks that increase the danger level for rescue teams and residents in the affected areas. Currently, rescue efforts are focused on proceeding with extreme caution to prevent putting workers at risk, as emergency teams continue sweeping through the debris of collapsed structures.
