Brazil sent 19 tons of rice on Wednesday to the victims of the earthquake that struck Colombia on August 10. This action is a response to an assistance request made by Colombian authorities.

The food was transported by the Brazilian Air Force (FAB) on a KC-390 cargo aircraft, which departed from the Canoas Air Base located in Rio Grande do Sul. The flight began at 5 PM.

This humanitarian aid shipment reflects the cooperation between the two countries in emergency situations. Colombian authorities had requested support after the damage caused by the earthquake.

The 19 tons of rice represent a significant contribution to relief efforts for populations affected by the natural disaster.

The delivery of the product helps mitigate the impacts of the earthquake, providing an essential resource for those in need.
