The Deputy Minister of Multilateral Affairs, Elizabeth Taylor Jay, announced the arrival of children Palestinians
to Colombia who have been victims of the conflict in the Middle East to receive humanitarian aid.

The vice minister added that: “We still do not have a quantification of how many children could go with their families, “But we are also appealing to international cooperation and logically also seeking resources, let’s say from our local capacity in the country to be able to attend to this important humanitarian gesture.”
The vice minister stated that the president Gustavo Petro
has made an invitation to hold world conferences towards peace, both in the case of Russia and Ukraine and in the case of Gaza.
