Cutremurul de 7,4 grade din Columbia a produs pagube de peste 9,5 miliarde de dolari, conform unei estimări preliminare

A powerful earthquake of 7.4 magnitude struck Colombia on August 10, resulting in over 300 deaths and significant damages estimated at $9.57 billion. Thousands of homes, schools, and hospitals collapsed, particularly in Pacific coastal cities and coffee-producing regions. The president announced that damage assessments were conducted by a private firm and emphasized the need for further information. Colombia has received aid from the U.S., EU, and World Bank. The president also requested a temporary suspension of U.S. tariffs on Colombian products. The earthquake poses a major challenge for the newly inaugurated government, which is now focused on reconstruction efforts.
