On Monday, August 10, 2026, at 7:34 a.m. local time, a powerful magnitude 7.4 earthquake struck the Chocó Department in Colombia. The quake occurred just 48 days after the earthquake that affected Venezuela.

The earthquake was also reportedly felt in Bogotá and caused severe structural damage in the cities of Cali, Manizales, Pereira, and Quibdó. Reports indicate that the quake caused part of the roof at Pereira's airport to collapse, devastated parts of the Coffee Region (Eje Cafetero), and brought down the tower of the cathedral in Manizales.

One of the main topics of discussion among the international community has been the Colombian government's response to offers of foreign assistance from countries that are not ideologically aligned with its administration. President Abelardo de la Espriella reportedly gave priority to rescue teams exclusively from the United States, Israel, and El Salvador, even though countries such as China, Mexico, and Brazil had already indicated they were prepared to deploy assistance as soon as they received a formal request
