Following a 7.4 magnitude earthquake that struck Colombia on August 10, 2026, with its epicenter in San José del Palmar, Chocó, international and domestic reactions have emerged. The Triplets Ghetto Kids from Uganda, known for their appearance at the FIFA World Cup final, sent a message of solidarity to Colombia two days after the disaster, stating, "We are with you."

Domestically, the natural disaster sparked widespread messages of solidarity and political debate across social media. However, the event also generated public indignation following a viral video featuring an unidentified woman who claimed that another earthquake should happen in Chocó because there is "only poverty" there.
