Colombia's Quake Ripples Beyond Borders: The Forgotten Cities That Keep Falling A magnitude 7. 4 earthquake struck western Colombia on March 20, leaving at least 111 people dead and countless others injured in its wake.
Cali, the country's third largest city, was among the worst affected areas, with buildings reduced to rubble and survivors still searching for loved ones trapped beneath the debris.
Colombia's location along the Pacific Ring of Fire has made it prone to frequent and severe earthquakes, with Cali having been affected by multiple significant quakes in recent years.
