# Rescuers in Colombia raced against time to save a man found alive beneath a collapsed hotel, nearly four days after a powerful earthquake struck the country. The 7.4-magnitude quake killed at least 285 people and injured nearly four-thousand, while almost 400 remain missing. Rescue teams are working through rubble in Pereira, hoping others may still be alive. The disaster has damaged tens of thousands of homes and forced many into shelters. Continuing aftershocks are complicating rescue efforts. The earthquake is also a major test for President Abelardo de la Espriella, who took office only days before the disaster.
