Colombia Earthquake Shakes Nation | Fayetteville Arkansas News

A 7.4 magnitude earthquake shattered western Colombia, killing at least 111 and leaving thousands trapped under rubble as rescue teams race against time. Cities like Cali and Pereira are in ruins, with 1,600 buildings destroyed — a devastating blow for a nation still reeling from recent disasters in Venezuela. The new president, thrust into crisis just days after taking office, has mobilized the military, police, and volunteers to save lives while promising rental aid for displaced families. With $15.5 million in U.S. aid on the way and survivors recounting heart-stopping escapes, Colombians brace for the long road ahead — where survival meets rebuilding, and resilience is the only foundation left standing.
