Episode Details

Colombia is in crisis after a devastating 7.4 magnitude earthquake shattered its western regions, collapsing buildings, tearing up roads, and leaving thousands missing. With over 180 dead, more than 2,500 injured, and possibly as many as 4,000 unaccounted for, rescue crews scramble through rubble in one of the country’s poorest zones—the Choco region—where remoteness and instability complicate relief. A lone survivor pulled from the debris offered fleeting hope, but over 100 aftershocks keep residents terrified and operations fragile. The new president, who took office just days before the quake, faces an uphill battle to unify the nation. International aid—including $15 million from the U.S.—is pouring in, but recovery will be long, costly, and deeply challenging.
