Rescuers in western Colombia worked through the night and into Tuesday searching for survivors beneath the wreckage after a powerful 7.4 magnitude earthquake devastated parts of the country’s coffee-growing region on Monday. At least 224 people have been killed and authorities are warning the number of casualties could still climb.
Rescue efforts across western Colombia carried into a second day on Tuesday as emergency workers dug through collapsed buildings and flattened homes, amid expectations that the death toll from the country’s most powerful earthquake in decades could rise.
