Death toll passes 200 after Colombia quake
The death toll from a devastating earthquake in Colombia has risen to 224, as emergency workers dig through the wreckage for survivors.
The 7.4 magnitude earthquake, the most powerful to strike the South American country in decades, tore through Colombia’s western regions early on Monday, reduced multi-storey buildings to rubble in cities such as Pereira and Cali, and caused one of the spires of a cathedral in the city of Manizales to collapse. #colombia #earthquake #quake #emergency #naturaldisaster
