Turkey and Qatar on Wednesday cooperated in distributing food aid in Colombia's capital Bogota and the central-northern city of Medellin as part of Ramadan efforts.

According to Turkey's Humanitarian Relief Foundation (IHH) board member Mehmet Celik, IHH and Qatar's Eid Charity Foundation will continue their support efforts in Latin America.

Food packages were distributed to over 250 families in need after iftar, the traditional Ramadan fast-breaking meal, at Istanbul Mosque in Bogota and the Islamic Cultural Center in Medellin.

Celik thanked the Eid Charity for their efforts and said they would also organize iftar meals in Ecuador and Peru as well as continuing their work in Colombian cities.
