The death toll continues to climb after a powerful earthquake hit western Colombia on Monday.
At least 82 people have been confirmed dead, Reuters is reporting.
The province of Risaralda, in Colombia’s coffee-growing region, has suffered the highest toll so far, with governor Juan Diego Patino reporting 42 fatalities.
Dozens of injuries and heavy damage to buildings were also reported in Choco, the province closest to the epicentre of the 7.4 magnitude quake.
