From sleeping on a football pitch to a hotel: this is how the mayor's office changed the situation of earthquake victims in Cali

The article describes how the city administration of Cali improved living conditions for residents affected by an earthquake in the Bueno Madrid neighborhood. After the August 10 earthquake rendered several buildings unsafe, families were initially forced to sleep in a makeshift shelter on a football field due to lack of proper housing. Following a census and assessment, the municipal authorities gradually relocated these families to hotels, including the Hotel Obelisco, where they received accommodation, food, and support. One resident, Alexandra Hernández, shared her experience of having to evacuate her home due to structural damage and the challenges of sleeping outdoors with her children. The transition from temporary shelter to hotel accommodations was seen as a significant improvement, offering safety and basic necessities.
