Woman rescued from rubble after Colombian quake dies from injuries

A Colombian woman, Daniela Largo, who had become a symbol of hope after being rescued from earthquake debris, has died from her injuries. Largo, 32, was pulled alive from the rubble in the city of Pereira on Tuesday, nearly 37 hours after a powerful earthquake struck the region. Her rescue was met with cheers and applause, offering a moment of relief to a nation grappling with the disaster.

Largo passed away on Friday, leaving behind a 12-year-old son. Her mother, Sandra Milena Perez, expressed her grief, telling AFP, "I just want this all to be over quickly."

The earthquake, which occurred on Monday, has claimed the lives of at least 294 people and injured nearly 4,000, according to authorities. Rescue efforts are ongoing, with at least 320 people still unaccounted for, as reported by the disaster management agency. In the hardest-hit areas, heavy machinery is being used to clear debris from collapsed roofs and walls.
