Eight people have been pulled alive from the rubble of a collapsed residential building in Cali, Colombia, in the wake of a powerful earthquake which hit the country on Monday.

The 7.5-magnitude quake jolted cities across Colombia's western region at 07:34 local time on Monday, completely destroying the apartment building named Torres del Limonar, and leaving its residents trapped underneath the ruins.

Since then, rescue teams and volunteers have worked there non-stop for dozens of hours, hoping to save more lives from the disaster.

After the critical 48-hour window closed, the rescuers have gradually shifted the focus of their work to recovering bodies of the victims.

The death toll from the powerful earthquake had risen to 265, with 3,494 people injured and 496 others still missing, Colombian President Abelardo de la Espriella said Wednesday.

The Colombian president said more than 11,000 homes were destroyed nationwide and over 53,000 people were affected by the disaster.
