Rescue operations continue in western Colombia following a magnitude-7.5 earthquake on August 10 that killed at least 265 people, injured more than 3,400 and left nearly 500 missing.

Many Colombians have mobilized to help, bringing water, food and supplies to affected communities.

CGTN spoke with residents and volunteers on the ground. Volunteer Daline Lopez said she came out to help because people are a community and must always support each other.
