Mother and newborn baby rescued from earthquake in Colombia

A glimmer of hope has emerged from the rubble in Cali, Colombia, where rescuers pulled a mother and her newborn baby alive. The two were trapped in a five-story building that collapsed in the Ciudad Capri neighborhood after a 7.4-magnitude earthquake. They were transferred to nearby care centers and are out of danger.

Meanwhile, search operations continue relentlessly among the rubble. One of them, rescuer Carlos Ortiz, told the press: "Fortunately, we found the baby with his mother, which gave us a lot of hope to continue our work. We have already rescued seven people and are currently searching for an elderly couple and their seven-year-old grandson, who are showing signs of life."

Referring to the newborn, Ortiz assured: "Fortunately, he is in stable condition. He suffered minor cuts when we pulled him out, but he is in stable condition and is receiving care from local paramedics."

Eighty-six buildings have collapsed and seven airports have suspended operations. The United States has announced $15.5 million in aid for Colombia.

Venezuela's interim president, Delcy Rodríguez, has also announced the activation of mechanisms to organize and provide humanitarian aid.

Hospitals in Cali, one of the cities hardest hit by the earthquake that shook Colombia, have declared a red alert after reaching 100% capacity.

Four major healthcare facilities have been completely evacuated, including the Evaristo García Valle University Hospital, where one wing of the building suffered a partial collapse. Doctors are treating patients under tents erected on the hospital premises while damage is assessed and services are reorganized.

Structural damage has also been reported at the Nuestra Cali Clinic, the Dessa Clinic, and the Columbia Clinic.

Authorities have ordered the temporary cancellation and rescheduling of surgeries, outpatient visits, and non-emergency services to free up space and staff and ensure continued care for those affected by the earthquake.
