After the disaster in Colombia, the embassy is asking for information about the Croats, there are about 2000

Following a major earthquake in Colombia, the Croatian Ministry of Foreign and European Affairs has reached out to the Croatian community in the country to gather information about their safety. The earthquake, measuring 7.4 on the Richter scale, struck the Chocó department early Monday local time, followed by a smaller quake of 4.6 magnitude an hour later. It is estimated that around 2000 members of the Croatian diaspora and their descendants live in Colombia, while approximately 500 are Croatian citizens. The ministry and the embassy in Brasília, which covers Colombia, are monitoring the situation closely after the disaster, which has already claimed at least 20 lives. Local authorities have warned that the situation remains critical and there is concern over potential aftershocks.
