Colombia Earthquake: Rescue Amid Ruin | Texas News

A devastating 7.4 magnitude earthquake has struck western Colombia, collapsing buildings, buckling roads, and crushing cars—triggering a frantic 72-hour race to save lives. At least 181 are dead, over 2,500 injured, and up to 4,000 may still be missing. Cities like Cali and Pereira are ground zero for rescue operations, where moments of hope shine through—like a baby pulled from rubble and a woman safely rescued. Amid poverty and the lingering scars of decades-long conflict, aid is arriving faster thanks to pre-existing peace accord efforts and local groups already on the ground. The U.S., Mexico, and El Salvador are rushing in resources and medical teams as the world rallies to support Colombia’s recovery.
