A 32-year-old woman is pulled alive from rubble in Pereira, Colombia, after spending about 36 hours trapped beneath debris from a collapsed building. Multiple outlets report that rescuers locate her roughly 10 hours before reaching her, after emergency workers conduct search-and-rescue efforts at the site.
The earthquake is reported as a 7.4-magnitude event that strikes on Monday, with rescue operations continuing in areas including Colombia’s coffee-growing Chocó region, described as near the epicentre by some outlets. Coverage also indicates ongoing searches beyond the woman’s rescue, with additional survivors pulled from the rubble in the broader aftermath.
While all accounts agree on the woman’s rescue and the approximate duration, they differ mainly in emphasis: some focus on the timeline of when she is found and when she is extracted, and others describe the location and the wider continuing operations across affected regions. One outlet also reports separate rescues involving other survivors days later, illustrating that efforts extend beyond the first major rescue story.
