Colombia mine collapse kills 14
Fourteen people have died and another seven have been injured following the collapse of an illegal gold mine in the Chimbaero region, southwest Colombia. Officials have called for speeding up the regularization of illegal miners’ status and improving safety conditions, especially since similar incidents have previously resulted in the deaths of 13 people in an earlier accident in the same area. Informal mining often stems from a lack of infrastructure and safety standards, which leads to tragic and recurring deadly accidents.
