Global relief efforts are gaining momentum following a significant earthquake in Colombia, with global music icon Beyoncé announcing a personal donation of $1 million to aid recovery. The funds will be directed towards providing essential food and housing supplies to communities devastated by the 7.4 magnitude earthquake that struck Chocó.
In separate emergency response news, a Canadian woman was airlifted to safety after a severe wasp attack in the British Columbia backcountry. The 33-year-old climber and her partner were rescued by helicopter after she sustained over 100 stings while hiking north of Vancouver.
