Victims, the other reality after the earthquake in Colombia

Following a powerful earthquake that struck Colombia, numerous families and children have been left displaced, with their homes reduced to ruins. Among the affected is Sebastián, a nine-year-old boy and the second of six siblings, who has been coping with the disaster by drawing pictures of his former home alongside a rainbow.

While the immediate physical destruction of the earthquake is significant, reports highlight the secondary reality faced by survivors—the psychological and social toll on vulnerable populations, particularly children, who are left trying to process the loss of their homes and daily routines in the aftermath of the catastrophe.
