Emergency responders in Pereira, Colombia, successfully rescued a 32-year-old woman who had been trapped under the debris of a collapsed building for 36 hours. The collapse followed a 7.4-magnitude earthquake that struck the region.

While both reports confirm the duration of the entrapment and the age of the survivor, the accounts differ slightly regarding the rescue process. Euronews provides additional context, noting that rescue teams had successfully located the woman 10 hours before they were physically able to reach her and extract her from the rubble. Al Jazeera’s report focuses primarily on the successful outcome of the rescue operation without detailing the timeline of the search efforts leading up to the extraction.

The rescue is a significant development in the aftermath of the seismic event, which has caused structural damage throughout the affected area. Authorities have not yet provided a comprehensive update on the total number of casualties or the full extent of the damage caused by the earthquake, but the survival of this individual serves as a focal point for ongoing recovery efforts.
