Colombia searches for over 3,000 missing after powerful earthquake kills more than 100
By AP
BOGOTA, Colombia — Search and rescue efforts resumed Tuesday in dozens of cities and towns in western Colombia after a Monday's 7.4 magnitude earthquake left over 3,000 missing, with many trapped under the debris.
Mayors and governors from Cali, Pereira, Choco and Manizalez said Tuesday at least 179 people had died in those four areas; the federal government, which last updated its estimates Monday, has said at least 111 died.
Around 1,600 buildings were reported damaged or collapsed.
Choco, the region surrounding the quake's epicenter, is one of Colombia's poorest and most neglected regions, often beset by warring armed groups. Much of Choco is accessible only by boat, through the jungle or by airplane. Little was known about the extent of damage there.
The U.S. State Department has announced it would provide $15.5 million for emergency shelter, food and other aid.
