Colombia: Bogota's search for survivors continues

Summary

The search for survivors continues in Colombia, more than 48 hours after a 7.4-magnitude earthquake struck the country. More than 200 people have been confirmed dead, while more than 2,000 are reported missing. The new president, Abelardo de la Espriella, has declared a state of emergency, as many people remain without clean drinking water or electricity and several major highways are still closed. Carys Garland’s report begins with the dramatic rescue of a man from the wreckage of his home.
