Rescuers in Colombia are racing against time to find survivors after a devastating 7.4-magnitude earthquake hit the country on Monday. The quake left at least 265 people dead and hundreds missing. Search-and-rescue teams made last-ditch efforts Thursday to locate survivors, knowing the first 48 to 72 hours are crucial. Rescuer Daiana Rojas, who is helping in Cali, says hope remains as they hear sounds from the rubble. The disaster has tested Colombia’s new president, Abelardo de la Espriella, as his government scrambles to respond. More than 25,800 families have been affected.
