BBC News

Two sisters in Colombia who were separated when they were children after an avalanche destroyed their town have been reunited 30 years later. The sisters, Jaqueline and Lorena Sanchez, were separated in 1985 when a volcano in Tolima erupted, killing at least 20,000 people. The two sisters were adopted by separate families and spent years looking for each other. The two were reunited after DNA tests, a social media campaign and with help from the Armando Armero Foundation which was set up to help victims of the disaster in Tolima.
