Rescuers search for survivors after strong earthquake kills at least 132 in Colombia
Volunteers and emergency crews are clearing debris in Colombia after a major quake destroyed buildings and left at least 132 people dead.
Rescue teams and volunteers in Colombia searched through collapsed buildings on Tuesday after the country’s strongest earthquake in a decade killed at least 132 people and damaged dozens of structures. The effort focused on finding anyone still trapped under the rubble.
People used buckets and their hands to move debris as crews worked through the wreckage. In affected areas, residents also brought food and water to survivors and queued to donate blood.
A second report later put the death toll at 216 as the search continued, underscoring the scale of the disaster. The quake measured 7.6, according to Euronews.
Authorities and aid workers remained focused on rescue operations as the cleanup continued across damaged neighbourhoods.
