Two months after the earthquake that struck Colombia on August 10, the Defensoría del Pueblo has formally requested that the Unidad Nacional para la Gestión del Riesgo de Desastres (Ungrd) reopen the official registry of victims. The request aims to ensure that those who were previously excluded or missed can access necessary state assistance and support services.
In response to the ongoing recovery efforts, the Ungrd has released an updated balance regarding the status of the emergency. The move by the Defensoría highlights concerns over the adequacy of the current relief process and the need to broaden the scope of aid provided to the affected population.
