The Argentine government is organizing the dispatch of a Hercules plane with humanitarian aid to Colombia following the devastating 7.5 magnitude earthquake that struck a week ago, according to official sources.

The mission will depart this Tuesday and will include a field kitchen, a water purification plant, and a group of Army volunteers specialized in rescue operations. The Armed Forces aim to assist the areas most affected by the quake.

Argentina joins other nations such as the United States, Ecuador, and Israel, which are also sending logistics and rescue teams to the Colombian country to address the crisis left by the earthquake.
