Death toll rises after Colombia earthquake

The death toll is rising in Colombia following the country’s worst earthquake in decades. At least 240 people have been confirmed killed in the west of the country, many of them found beneath the rubble of their homes. But the painstaking search for survivors continues, with some stories of hope, including that of a 32-year-old woman who was pulled alive from a collapsed apartment on Tuesday.
