Residents of Cali gathered on September 10 to mark one month since a powerful earthquake struck southwestern Colombia. During a memorial ceremony, people laid flowers, lit candles and released white balloons in honour of the victims.

The ceremony also included prayers and a tribute from Cali Mayor Alejandro Eder. Later, residents visited the site of the Torres de Limonar residential complex, which collapsed in the earthquake and left debris behind.

Survivors spoke of the pain of losing loved ones, homes and neighbours, while the mayor said the city was beginning to get back on its feet.
