3-year-old girl rescued 100 hours after Colombia earthquake

BREAKING: A three-year-old girl and a 75-year-old man have been pulled alive from the rubble 100 hours after Colombia's earthquake, as teams search for 320 still missing.

A three-year-old girl has been pulled alive from the rubble, one hundred hours after Colombia's earthquake.

A seventy-five-year-old man was rescued alongside her. Both survived well past the seventy-two-hour mark, the window rescuers treat as the realistic limit for finding people alive. These pictures show the teams still working through the collapsed buildings, by hand, hour after hour.

Moments like this are why they keep digging. A child alive on day five changes the maths for every crew on every pile of concrete in the country, and Colombia's emergency services have made clear the search goes on.

But the number that sits over all of it is this one. Three hundred and twenty people are still missing, and every hour from here gets harder.

This is Liu Yang, reporting for HIT.
