IDF Teams Rescue All Missing at Colombia Sites, Clear 250 Families Home

IDF humanitarian-delegation teams working alongside Colombian rescue forces located and rescued all missing people at the impact sites assigned to them after the destructive earthquake, while continuing assistance at other locations. Delegation engineers surveyed dozens of damaged buildings in affected communities, approving most for use and identifying some as unsafe. On August 19, their assessments cleared more than 250 families to return home safely. The structural evaluations are also helping educational and healthcare institutions resume operations, according to the IDF's official update on the mission.
