Colombia quake: Woman freed alive from rubble after 36 hours

A 32-year-old woman was rescued alive after being trapped under rubble for 36 hours following Colombia’s 7.4-magnitude earthquake, according to the BBC. Daniela Largo was freed from a collapsed building in Pereira after a 10-hour operation in which firefighters dug tunnels through four concrete slabs to reach her.

At least 188 people have died in the quake, with 79 deaths recorded in Pereira and 95 in Cali. President Abelardo de la Espriella called the rescue “news which fills us with hope.” More than 200 people remain trapped in Cali as search efforts continue.
