Dozens of rescuers and onlookers burst into applause and cheers in Pereira in western Colombia on Tuesday night as a young child was pulled from the rubble of a collapsed building following the country's 7.5-magnitude earthquake.

Footage from the scene showed rescuers carefully clearing debris as they worked to reach the trapped child. Onlookers who had gathered at the site held up their phones with flashlights on, casting additional light onto the rescue effort.

When the child was finally brought out, the crowd erupted in applause and cheers, a moment of relief and joy amid the wreckage.

The dramatic rescue came after the strong quake struck the country on Monday, causing widespread damage across multiple regions. Pereira, a city in Colombia's coffee-growing region, was among the cities ravaged by the earthquake.

The death toll from the earthquake in western Colombia has risen to 188, with 1,677 others injured, the Colombian Association of Capital Cities, or Asocapitales, said Tuesday.

Of the total, the latest tally included 95 deaths and 997 injuries reported in the city of Cali, while Pereira reported 79 deaths and 278 injuries.

Rescue operations are continuing in affected areas as the government had declared a state of national disaster to respond to the impact of the earthquake.
