The 7.4-magnitude earthquake that struck western Colombia killed at least 265 people and left hundreds, or potentially thousands, missing.

More than 25,800 families were affected as buildings collapsed, roads buckled, and vehicles were crushed.

Regional aid began arriving Wednesday as rescue teams searched devastated cities including Cali, Pereira, Manizales, and Quibdo for survivors.

Rescuers continued finding signs of life, including a baby and 32-year-old Daniela Largo, who was pulled alive from the rubble after a 12-hour rescue, CBS News has reported.

With the critical 48-to-72-hour rescue window running out, volunteers and specialized teams worked around the clock, knowing every minute could mean the difference between life and death.
