Antioquia province’s governor, Andres Julian, said that a terrible landslide in northwest Colombia has killed at least 10 people and hurt 15 others. Tuesday’s fall shocked the area and killed several people. Families are still grieving their losses.
Using social media, the governor posted information about the disaster and the ongoing efforts to save people who are still trapped under the rubble. “Search and rescue operations are still going on,” he said, asking the police to keep working hard to find anyone who might still be in danger. Volunteers and emergency workers have been working nonstop to save lives and help the areas that have been affected.
Governor Julian has guaranteed the public that resources are being quickly mobilized and that national and local teams are working together to deal with the disaster’s aftermath. Mountains and regular rains make the area prone to landslides. Now the region has to work hard to recover. Additionally, the authorities are warning people in the area to stay alert because more rain could cause more floods.
Local leaders have shown their support for the victims, saying that the mental toll on the families and community is unbearable. The governor also said, “Our thoughts are with the families who have lost loved ones.” “We will do everything possible to support them during this difficult time.”
Local authorities are keeping the public informed with regular updates while search and rescue efforts continue. Millions of Colombians are sending messages of hope and giving help in any way they can in response to the terrible event.
The community has a long road ahead of them, but the heroes of Antioquia and the speed with which rescue teams responded give people hope in the midst of tragedy.
