Colombia says it will only accept rescue teams from four countries, as earthquake survival window closes

President Abelardo De la Espriella's administration states that only teams from the US, El Salvador, Ecuador, and Israel possess the required certifications. The decision means Mexico's rescue brigade was not approved, though Mexico is sending other aid.
