Colombia quake death toll tops 250 as rescuers race to find survivors

A powerful 7.4-magnitude earthquake struck Colombia’s coffee region, killing about 250 people and heavily damaging Pereira and Cali.
Rescuers and volunteers dug through rubble through the night, cheering as some survivors were pulled out, while thousands were left homeless and aftershocks continued.
Remote Indigenous and coastal communities in Chocó remain cut off without power or basic services, complicating relief efforts.
