WHAT HAPPENED
On Monday, Aug. 10, 2026, a 7.4‑magnitude earthquake struck western Colombia, killing at least 111 people. Search and rescue operations were underway early Tuesday across dozens of cities, including Cali, Quibdo, and Pereira, as teams combed through collapsed buildings.
According to the Associated Press, about 1,600 structures were damaged or collapsed. Soldiers, rescue personnel and volunteers worked manually to move large concrete pieces, while President Abelardo de la Espriella confirmed the death toll Monday afternoon. By Monday night, more than 2,700 people were reported missing, with families posting updates on citizen‑run websites—an example being a photo of the missing 60‑year‑old Miguel Ángel Zamora from El Cairo near the quake’s epicenter.
The quake’s impact on western Colombia underscores the region’s vulnerability to seismic events and the urgency of coordinated emergency response efforts.
