At EL TIEMPO, we express our solidarity and, as part of journalistic practice, we publish a digital extra edition that depicts this tragedy that will remain in the nation's historical memory. Read it here. Today, the lives of thousands of Colombians were split in two. The preliminary report provided by President Abelardo De La Espriella confirms at least 111 deaths and 87 injured, while rescue agencies focus all their efforts on finding life under the rubble. The strong seismic movement also caused severe structural damage to homes, roads, and airports in cities such as Manizales, Pereira, Cali, Armenia, Quibdó, and Buenaventura, which reflect the magnitude of the disaster. The special report we produced at EL TIEMPO presents data, stories, and images of the most destructive earthquake Colombia has experienced since 1999.
