Father and Infant Rescued from Rubble After Colombia Earthquake

Father and Infant Rescued from Rubble After Colombia EarthquakePreviousNext

After a 7.4-magnitude earthquake struck Colombia, rescuers located a trapped man and his three-month-old baby beneath the rubble of a collapsed five-story residential building in Cali. A faint voice from the father, Juan David Gomez, helped volunteers identify their location. The baby, Salomon, was rescued alive despite initial breathing difficulties, while Gomez was found with a bloodied arm. Rescue efforts continue for the baby's mother and uncle, who remain trapped. The earthquake caused at least 265 deaths and widespread damage.
