The Spanish Minister for Foreign Affairs, José Manuel Albarés, reported on Tuesday that his department had counted 164 Spaniards unlocated in Colombia, although he had no record of Spaniards injured or killed.

Albarés has explained that a first census has been carried out and has asked Spaniards or their families who have not been able to be located to contact the embassy or consulate to inform them of their situation.

During his hearing, the minister stressed that diplomatic representations are "fully mobilized" in support of the Spanish people following the earthquake that has left 130 dead and more than 500 injured.

"Brother People"

The Ministry of Foreign Affairs has ensured that the assistance of the Spanish Agency for International Cooperation is in the hands of the "brotherly people" Colombia and recommends following the instructions of the local authorities, as well as the information and contacts of the Spanish Embassy and the Consulate General.

It also recalls the emergency hotlines +57 3164733216 and +34 910001249, the Spanish Consulate General in Bogotá, as well as the emergency hotline "123" and the postal address of the Consulate General of Bogotá.
