Families Await News as Emergency Crews Dig Through Collapsed Buildings 
Rescue teams in Colombia are racing to find survivors after a powerful 7.4-magnitude earthquake struck the country's western region, leaving widespread destruction and a rising death toll.
At least 164 people have been confirmed dead, according to Reuters, with rescuers continuing to search collapsed buildings in cities including Cali, Pereira and Manizales.
Police, soldiers and volunteers have been working through rubble with heavy machinery and their bare hands, hoping to locate people still trapped beneath collapsed structures.
The disaster has also disrupted hospitals and other critical infrastructure. In Cali, hundreds of patients were reportedly treated outdoors after medical facilities were badly affected.

The death toll is expected to change as rescuers reach more affected areas and authorities confirm reports of missing people.
