Colombians are safe after Spain quake: Consulate

by Jim Glade May 12, 2011

Colombia News - Spain Earthquake

No Colombians were killed or hurt in the two earthquakes the rocked Lorca, Spain Wednesday evening, reported the Colombian Consulate in Valencia to Caracol Radio Thursday.

Of the nine people reported killed thus far, hundreds that have been injured and thousands that have been displaced by the quake, Colombian Consul, Maria Leticia Ortega, said that none of the 8,0000 Colombians living in the country have been killed, injured or left homeless.

The official will meet later today with other Latin American Consulates in Spain to get an assessment of how the quake affected their populations living abroad on the Iberian peninsula.

The Consul expressed the Colombian government’s desire to help the citizens of Lorca recover from the country’s deadliest quake in 55 years.
