The Trump administration has raised its humanitarian assistance to Colombia to a total of $26.5 million following the 7.4-magnitude earthquake that struck the country on August 10.

The Department of State announced the additional $11 million on August 14, building on the initial $15.5 million committed within hours of the disaster.

The funding supports emergency shelter, food, health, protection, and post-earthquake structural assessments through partners including Catholic Relief Services, the International Federation of Red Cross and Red Crescent Societies, the International Organization for Migration, Miyamoto International, UNICEF, the UN World Food Program, and World Vision.

U.S. Southern Command is transporting relief supplies from a Miami prepositioning warehouse to Colombia to speed delivery.

The State Department continues to coordinate directly with Colombian President Abelardo de la Espriella and his government on needs assessments and response efforts.

This assistance comes alongside an earlier $200 million contribution to the Colombia Pooled Fund through the UN Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs, which can address both earthquake impacts and other humanitarian requirements.

Reports indicate more than 3,000 people remain missing in the aftermath of the quake, underscoring the scale of the disaster and the importance of rapid U.S. support in the Western Hemisphere.
