Colombia Earthquake: Devastation and Rescue | Jamaica News
Description
A catastrophic 7.4 magnitude earthquake shattered Colombia yesterday morning, killing at least 169 people and injuring over 600 as 165 buildings collapsed. Cities like Cali, Pereira, and Manizales bore the brunt, with survivors recounting terrifying moments of fleeing homes, jumping from rooftops, and finding streets filled with rubble and panic. Amid darkness and chaos, volunteers formed human chains to dig through debris while international aid—$15.5 million from the U.S. and EU satellite support—begins pouring in. With power outages, broken communications, and rescue teams racing against time, Colombia’s coffee heartland is reeling from one of its deadliest natural disasters in decades.
