The reporting

A neutral summary of the key facts most sources agree on, drawn from reporting across the political spectrum.

Colombia’s death toll from Monday’s magnitude 7.4 earthquake has risen to at least 254 as rescuers work a narrowing 72-hour window to reach survivors in collapsed buildings. Centered near San José del Palmar in Chocó, the quake damaged Cali, Pereira and Manizales, buckling roads and crushing cars. More than 2,700 people have been reported missing, and regional aid began arriving Wednesday as President Abelardo de la Espriella’s new government coordinates the response. Crews rescued a 32-year-old woman in Pereira after 36 hours and pulled a baby from rubble in Cali.
