The Colombian Navy with the purpose of integrating the resources of the Military Forces into the Unified State operation effort and thanks to the support provided by the private sector, distributed more than 180 food kits in rural areas of the departments of Sucre and Bolivar.
The humanitarian aid donated by the Fundación Telefónica Colombia, from Bogotá, was received and taken by crew of the Navy Infantry Brigade No.1 in the municipalities of Mampujancito and San Pablo, in the municipality of María la Baja, Bolívar and to the municipalities of Yeso and Victoria in the municipality of Morroa, Sucre.
The crew of the Naval Institution, the Marina Stereo radio Station and the Professional Officers of the Sucre Naval Reserve, overcoming the difficult conditions of the access roads and the adversities of the weather, in an operation, took the kits to go door to door visiting 180 vulnerable families with these food baskets that contained basic products of the family basket.
Thanks to this coordinated work, it was possible to benefit nearly 800 low-income people, mitigating their basic needs and guaranteeing food security and well-being for these communities in the Montes de María subregion, which have been hit by the health emergency caused by the covid-19.
