Medical aid and blood units are being transported to areas affected by a recent earthquake. Direct Relief is supporting immediate health needs by providing emergency operating funds for air transport. These funds will be used by Patrulla Aérea Civil Colombiana to procure and deliver medical supplies to affected municipalities.

The earthquake's impact was severe, and many areas are only reachable by boat or plane. Air transport is necessary to deliver aid to these hard-to-access areas. Aircraft involved in medical missions have already departed to provide humanitarian assistance.

Further details about the relief efforts are available from the source, including information about the specific areas being targeted and the scope of the aid being provided.
