Elizabeth Rallies to Aid Colombia Earthquake Victims | Newark News

A devastating 7.4 magnitude earthquake has struck western Colombia, killing hundreds, injuring thousands, and leaving many missing—especially in Chocó, Cali, Pereira, and vital coffee regions. In response, Elizabeth’s Colombian and Latino communities have rallied with a massive, coordinated relief effort led by Brisa’s Restaurant and local businesses. Focused on urgent medical supplies, diapers, and hygiene products, the drive is tackling huge logistical hurdles with air and sea shipments planned for early next week. With citywide support, drop-off hubs, and traffic management, this is more than aid—it’s a powerful testament to unity across cultures, showing how one community can mobilize to save lives when disaster strikes.
