South Florida unites to support victims of the earthquake in Colombia with a benefit concert and aid shipment.

Following a 7.4-magnitude earthquake that struck Colombia on a Monday, approximately 290 people have died and about 140 remain missing while search and rescue operations continue. The disaster has severely impacted the region, disrupting the education of tens of thousands of children, particularly in rural and less-developed areas.

In response to the crisis, residents of South Florida have mobilized to support the victims nearly a week after the tremor. This solidarity effort includes a benefit concert and the dispatch of humanitarian aid to assist the affected communities.
