Dozens of people have died after a powerful earthquake struck western Colombia on Monday, local officials said. The magnitude-7.4 earthquake hit the Chocó region at 7:34 a.m. local time, according to the United States Geological Survey. Emergency workers, supported by local communities, are digging through broken concrete and twisted metal in the hope of finding survivors. As night falls, families in Colombia are waiting anxiously for news of loved ones, while rescue workers continue their search through the ruins. The full scale of the destruction remains unclear, but the earthquake has already left a deep scar across the region.
