The European Union will provide €2 million in aid to communities in Colombia affected by this week’s earthquake, European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen said on Wednesday. She said the money would go to the most affected areas as search and rescue operations continue. The 7.4-magnitude earthquake, described as the most devastating to hit Colombia this century, is estimated to have killed at least 250 people. The aid package is equivalent to about $2.3 million, based on the cited exchange rate of $1 = €0.8671.
