Colombian woman pulled alive from rubble as earthquake death toll tops 200

Colombian rescuers pulled a 32-year-old woman alive from the rubble of a collapsed building on Tuesday, sparking cheers and applause as exhausted crews raced to find more survivors from the country’s strongest earthquake in a century.Daniela Largo was carried from the wreckage wrapped in a blue blanket as rescuers embraced and relatives shouted out with joy.Soldiers, firefighters and volunteers continued to scour collapsed buildings across western Colombia after Monday’s 7.4-magnitude quake.Authorities revised the death toll down to 216 after local officials in Cali corrected earlier figures.“We were losing hope and then we received a call,” said her mother Sandra Milena Perez in Pereira.Perez said a local resident heard cries for help beneath the rubble and joined neighbours in removing debris before professional rescuers arrived.“Thanks to him, today we’re happy,” she said. “At home, her 12-year-old son is waiting for her.”
