A powerful 7.4-magnitude earthquake struck Colombia on August 10, 2024, becoming the strongest earthquake the country has experienced this century [2]. The third-largest city, Cali, suffered severe damage, with at least 95 people killed and more than 50 buildings collapsed [2]. The iconic Torres de Limonares building was destroyed, trapping approximately 25 people under the rubble [2].
Rescue operations continued more than 24 hours after the quake, with workers extracting survivors from the debris [1][2]. Approximately 10 people have been rescued from the Torres de Limonares building so far, and rescue teams have detected at least 2 people alive at the site [2]. Rescue worker James Velasco noted that he had previously been involved in operations that rescued survivors who had been trapped for seven days [2]. The city's mayor announced the implementation of a nighttime curfew to accelerate rescue and recovery efforts [2].
