Colombia Earthquake Crisis Deepens | San Antonio News

A devastating 7.4 magnitude earthquake has struck western Colombia, leaving Cali, Pereira, Manizales, and Quibdo in ruins as rescue teams race against time in the critical first 72 hours. With over 180 dead, more than 2,500 injured, and possibly up to 4,000 missing—according to civilian estimates—the government struggles to coordinate relief amid chaos. Yet hope flickers: a baby rescued from rubble and a woman carried to safety offer glimmers of humanity. Thanks to pre-existing aid networks from peace efforts, regions like Choco are getting faster help. The international community responds swiftly—with the U.S. pledging $15 million, Mexico sending medical teams, and El Salvador preparing two planes of supplies—as Colombia faces its most severe humanitarian crisis in decades.
