The known death toll after a powerful earthquake in Colombia has been raised to 132 people killed, with hundreds more injured and potentially thousands of buildings damaged or destroyed. Nevertheless, the initially moderate death toll known on Monday has soared overnight and now officially stands at 132, with over 700 injured. As of Tuesday morning, 193 people are believed to remain trapped in 56 collapsed buildings in Cali city alone. Monday’s quake was the strongest ever recorded in Colombia and, reports newspaper El Tiempo, for many it was a reliving of the 1999 earthquake disaster which struck in the same area and killed 1,171. The paper notes when rebuilding after that earthquake, rules on seismic resilience were applied — although apparently not universally, and not always obeyed — raising hope the death toll may be less this time.
