Colombia Extends Search for Missing After Earthquake
Colombia, after six days since a 7.4 magnitude earthquake, has reported 287 deaths, approximately 4,000 injuries, and 379 others missing. Following the quake, around 13,000 homes were destroyed, and the smell of decomposing bodies has appeared in the affected areas. Rescue efforts to find missing persons are still ongoing despite diminishing chances of survival, while scientists continue to remove debris in areas where no survivors are expected. The global response has included financial aid, most notably $26.5 million from the United States and $200 million from the World Bank. Meanwhile, President Abelardo De La Espreilla faces challenges in crisis management, having just assumed office a week ago.
