Rescuers call for silence around earthquake rubble as window for survival narrows in Colombia
- Rescuers in Colombia are calling for silence as they search for signs of life in the rubble of a powerful earthquake.
- The 7.4 magnitude earthquake struck Cali on August 10, 2026, killing over 270 people and leaving hundreds missing.
- The first two to three days after an earthquake are considered the prime window for retrieving survivors.
- Rescue efforts are focused on locating any remaining survivors before time runs out.
The search for life in the rubble of Colombia’s powerful earthquake is growing more desperate as search teams push against a key time threshold to locate survivors before it’s too late.
Rescuers have called for silence at the sites to listen for any signs of life, raising their fists to alert the team when they hear something.
The earthquake, which struck on August 10, 2026, has killed over 270 people and left hundreds missing, with Cali being one of the most heavily damaged cities.
Aid agencies emphasize that the first two to three days after a quake are crucial for retrieving survivors, although this window can be extended if those trapped have access to food and water.

哥伦比亚强烈地震废墟中的生命搜寻变得愈发绝望，救援队正面临关键的时间限制，以便在为时已晚之前找到幸存者。
救援人员在现场呼吁保持安静，以便倾听任何生命迹象，当他们听到声音时，举起拳头以提醒团队。
