Mexico Says Colombia Rejected Its Earthquake Rescue Team The devastating earthquake that struck Colombia on Monday has left a trail of destruction, claiming at least 273 lives and injuring over 3,800 people.
The international community is rallying to offer assistance, but the response from Colombia's new right wing government has raised more questions than answers.
President Claudia Sheinbaum of Mexico accused her counterpart in Colombia, Abelardo de la Espriella, of being ideological and excluding foreign rescue teams from countries with left wing leaders.
