Colombia quake survivors decry state neglect in Buenaventura

Residents of Buenaventura, Colombia, say the government response to Monday's 7.4-magnitude earthquake has been insufficient, reflecting chronic neglect. The quake killed 287 people nationwide, including 19 in the city, where 540 homes collapsed and 3,416 were damaged. Locals fear recovery efforts will favor wealthier cities like Cali and Pereira.
