A major clinic in Cali closed due to severe damage during the earthquake; other medical centers are also experiencing limitations.

A magnitude 7.4 earthquake struck Cali and various regions of Colombia on Monday, August 10, resulting in 95 confirmed fatalities and the destruction of at least 45 buildings. The seismic event caused significant structural damage to local healthcare infrastructure, forcing the closure of a major clinic in Cali and imposing operational limitations on other medical centers across the affected areas.

In response to the disaster, Starlink has announced the provision of free satellite internet access to customers in the impacted regions until September 12. The service is intended to support connectivity in the aftermath of the earthquake, with the company noting that existing active customers will receive the service automatically without requiring further action.
