The death toll from Monday's powerful earthquake in Colombia has risen to 294, with over 300 people still missing. Rescue workers are increasingly pessimistic about finding survivors, with efforts largely shifting to recovering bodies from the rubble. A firefighter in Cali reports only one location still shows signs of life, while others have yielded only fatalities. Tragically, a 32-year-old woman rescued after 36 hours in Pereira succumbed to her injuries in the hospital. The 7.4 magnitude quake was felt throughout the region, including in Panama, Ecuador, and Venezuela, and has been followed by over 250 aftershocks. President Abelardo de la Espriella has appealed to President Trump to suspend US import tariffs to aid Colombia’s devastated economy.
