Colombia’s race against time after the quake
A 7.4 magnitude earthquake struck western Colombia on Monday, collapsing buildings and injuring 2,595 people. President Abelardo de la Espriella reported at least 181 fatalities and 195 missing, though estimates suggest up to 4,000 may be unaccounted for. Rescue efforts are urgent, with the critical 48 to 72-hour window for finding survivors now underway.
