The United Arab Emirates (UAE) recently dispatched a substantial $10 million aid package to Colombia following a catastrophic 7.4 magnitude earthquake that struck the South American nation on August 10. The relief effort, initiated last month, aims to provide critical supplies such as food, hygiene kits, and cleaning equipment to devastated communities in Colombia.
The 7.4 magnitude quake, which originated near the town of San Jose del Palmar in Choco province, caused widespread destruction of thousands of homes and buildings, resulting in over 300 deaths and thousands more injuries. The UAE's humanitarian aid response was spearheaded by President Sheikh Mohamed, who extended his heartfelt condolences to the victims of the earthquake and assured the Colombian people of the UAE's unwavering solidarity during this time of crisis.
President Mohamed also engaged in a direct conversation with Colombia's newly elected President, Abelardo de la Espriella, expressing deep sorrow for the losses sustained and assuring the recovery of the injured.
