The race against time in Colombia

Rescue efforts are underway in Colombia following a recent earthquake. A delegation from the Alliance of Brothers has arrived in the country to help locate and rescue people trapped under rubble. According to The Jakarta Post, authorities report 287 people have been killed and nearly 4,000 injured, with almost 400 others still missing.

Rescue workers are racing against time to free survivors, with efforts concentrated in Cali, Colombia's third-largest city, and Pereira, in the coffee-growing region. In Cali, workers are shifting shattered concrete after detecting sounds from a collapsed residential block, suggesting people may still be alive.

A 67-year-old volunteer, Julio Cesar Pineda, described the rescue efforts, saying "We'll keep going as long as God permits, as long as we have the strength." Venezuelan rescuers, who have experience from recent earthquakes in their own country, have also joined the efforts in Pereira, expressing hope of finding survivors.
