> Colombia’s desperate search after Monday’s magnitude 7.4 earthquake has ended. Nearly 4,000 people were injured and at least 281 died, with the toll expected to rise as more bodies are recovered. On day four, rescuers abandoned efforts to reach a trapped person at 3am after the final signs of life vanished, well beyond the crucial 72-hour survival window.
