Rescuers scramble for survivors with 180 dead in Colombia earthquake
More than 180 people have been confirmed dead - most in the cities of Cali and Pereira. The magnitude 7.4 quake struck at 07:34 (12:34 GMT) on Monday and was felt across an enormous area, stretching for hundreds of miles across western Colombia - with fresh aftershocks still being felt on Tuesday. While the official death toll remains 181, an aggregated figure gathered from local officials puts it higher - potentially at more than 240.
