                          Colombian volunteers and rescuers sifted through rubble with bare hands and buckets, hunting for survivors following a magnitude 7.4 quake that killed at least 132 people. [Santiago Saldarriaga/AP Photo]
                          The quake on Monday ravaged cities across western Colombia, including Cali, Pereira, Quibdo and Manizales, and was felt in neighbouring Ecuador and Panama. [Miguel Angel Lopez/AP Photo]
                          The quake struck shortly after 7:30am (12:30 GMT), sending panicked residents onto the streets and damaging at least 1,500 buildings. [Santiago Saldarriaga/AP Photo]

                          In Cali, the country’s third-largest city, search teams and civilians picked through the remains of destroyed buildings, passing large pieces of concrete and other rubble down a long line of volunteers. [Jaime Saldarriaga/AFP]
                          Local officials said at least 20 buildings crumbled, while 380 were damaged, trapping many people. [Santiago Saldarriaga/AP Photo]
                          The earthquake struck just days after Abelardo de La Espriella was sworn in as president, thrusting the new administration into its first major crisis, with memories still fresh of devastating twin earthquakes in neighbouring Venezuela in June. [Juan Diaz/AP Photo]
                          By Monday afternoon, people had begun reporting their loved ones missing on digital databases, one of which had more than 1,400 people, mostly in Cali and Pereira, with the number steadily climbing. [Jaime Saldarriaga/AFP]
                          Small earthquakes, known as “temblores”, are common in Colombia, which sits along the seismically active Pacific Ring of Fire, but those above magnitude 6.0 are rare. In 1999, a magnitude 6.2 quake near the city of Armenia killed more than 1,100 people. [Santiago Saldarriaga/AP Photo]
                          Authorities warned the toll could rise as rescuers searched collapsed buildings across several cities. [Miguel Angel Lopez/AP Photo]
