Claim 1: “Rescuers pull child from rubble in Pereira as cheers erupt.”
DISPUTED
While one source reports a child being rescued from rubble in Pereira, other sources report different rescues in the same city: one reporting a kitten and another reporting a 32-year-old woman. This creates a contradiction regarding who was rescued in that specific instance.

Claim 6: “Dozens of rescuers and onlookers burst into applause and cheers in Pereira in western Colombia on Tuesday night as a young child was pulled from the rubble of a collapsed building following the country's 7.5-magnitude earthquake.”
DISPUTED
The claim specifies a 7.5-magnitude earthquake. However, multiple other sources (Google News, Bloomberg, France 24, and others) consistently report the magnitude as 7.4. Additionally, as noted in claim 1, the identity of the person rescued (child vs. woman vs. kitten) is inconsistent across sources.
