Hope fades for finding survivors of Colombia quake as rescued woman dies

The hopes of finding survivors in Colombia's recent 7.4 magnitude earthquake have waned as a rescued woman, Daniela Largo, 32, succumbed to her injuries after being trapped for nearly 37 hours. The 12-year-old son she left behind expressed his desire for the ordeal to end soon. Largo's mother, Sandra Milena Perez, lamented the ongoing crisis, stating their wish for a quick resolution to the disaster that has claimed at least 294 lives and left 4,000 injured.

Rescue teams continue their search for over 320 people still missing, employing heavy machinery to clear debris from the hardest-hit regions. The city of Pereira, where Largo was found, remains in a state of despair, with residents holding onto slim chances of finding a survivor, though many are now questioning such hope. The nation's newly appointed president, Abelardo de la Espriella, expressed gratitude to the US for $26.5 million in aid and support, requesting a temporary suspension of tariffs to ease the burden on businesses grappling with the aftermath of the earthquake.
