Earthquake response strains Colombia's new government and rescuers as they race against the clock

The search for survivors after Colombia’s powerful 7.4 magnitude earthquake continues amid immense strain on President Abelardo de la Espriella’s government and rescuers. The devastation has been complicated by ongoing issues of deep poverty and civil warfare, though international aid from the U.S., Mexico, and Salvadoran forces is arriving. Aid organizations are leveraging a 2016 peace accord to distribute materials in conflict-torn centers.
