Rome, 12 Aug. (LaPresse) – “We are entering the final phase of the first 72 hours. I want to be clear on this: when people see the images, they must not forget that we are racing against time to save lives. We have taken steps to clear the streets and implement strict traffic restrictions to deal with the emergency swiftly. We have 24 hours left. After that, the first 72-hour window closes; this does not mean there will be no survivors afterwards, but it will be more difficult.” This was stated by the mayor of Cali, Alejandro Eder, in an interview with Caracol Radio. Cali was one of the cities hardest hit by the magnitude 7.4 earthquake that devastated Colombia.
