Aid from South Florida is on its way to Colombia to help those affected by a recent earthquake. A cargo plane loaded with donations was sent from Miami International Airport. The plane is carrying approximately 60 tons of supplies, including health necessities and equipment.
The aid was collected from across South Florida, with much of it coming from the city of Doral. This is the fourth shipment of supplies sent by Avianca Airlines since the earthquake struck. The airline is partnering with Global Empowerment Mission and local governments to provide the aid.
Further details about the aid effort are available from the source. The supplies are destined for Cali, Colombia, where they will be used to support those impacted by the earthquake.
