A 7.4-magnitude earthquake struck Colombia on Monday, killing at least 265 people and leaving hundreds missing [1]. The disaster has affected more than 25,800 families across the country's hardest-hit cities, including Cali, Pereira, Manizales, and Quibdo [1]. By Thursday, rescue teams were conducting final search efforts in the rubble, urging bystanders to remain silent so they could listen for signs of life [1].
Cali's mayor, Alejandro Eder, emphasized that the next 20 hours were critical in the rescue operation [1]. A 25-year-old volunteer rescuer named Daiana Rojas reported hearing sounds from the rubble since 2:30 a.m., suggesting that two people might still be alive [1]. Official counts list nearly 500 people as missing, though a civilian database has recorded over 4,200 missing persons [1]. The earthquake marks the strongest to hit Colombia this century [1].
