A magnitude 7.4 earthquake struck western Colombia on Tuesday, August 11, 2026, resulting in the deaths of at least 111 people. The quake caused significant destruction in Cali, the country's third-largest city. Search teams and civilians have been working together to sift through the rubble of destroyed buildings, passing large pieces of concrete and debris down long lines of volunteers in an effort to find survivors and recover victims.

The disaster has mobilized a large-scale response as the community and rescue workers continue their efforts amid the devastation.
