AGP Executive Report

Last update: 2 hours ago

Earthquake Response: Colombia’s 7.4 quake death toll rose to 273, with more than 3,800 injured and 377 still missing, as rescuers in Cali and Pereira shifted from search-and-rescue to debris removal and families waited for word. Crews even asked for silence to hear possible signs of life, with the “final phase” of rescue underway as the 72-hour window closed. Economic Emergency & Reconstruction: President Abelardo de la Espriella declared an economic emergency and announced a “Fondo Milagro” to channel domestic and international donations to rebuild hospitals, schools, homes, and infrastructure. International Aid: The UAE pledged $10 million for medical supplies, food, and shelter; Sweden added SEK 5 million via UNHCR; and Pope Leo XIV sent €100,000 through Catholic charity channels. Security & Politics: The new president also requested U.S. help for anti-drug operations, with Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth saying Colombia authorized joint military actions on its territory. Local Human Stories: A New Jersey mother died trying to save her daughter during the quake, while multiple reports highlighted survivors pulled from rubble and the growing desperation as hopes fade.
