    Opening

    Hundreds of people remain missing in the wake of Monday’s powerful earthquake that rattled western Colombia, and rescue teams are gradually shifting their focus from searching for survivors to recovering bodies amidst the wreckage.[1]

    Rescue Operations Altered

    Because no additional survivors have been found, priorities have moved from rescue to forensic recovery. The shift is being carried out under the guidance of local emergency agencies, which now aim to identify the deceased, while acknowledging the urgency of the task.[1]

    Families' Silent Resolve

    Despite the change in tactics, many families in affected towns are choosing to search the rubble themselves, hoping to locate relatives who might still be alive. The emotional drive has prompted some to assemble volunteer groups and comb through debris at night.[1]
