Shakira tweets about floods in Mocoa (Colombia), calls for donations

More than 230 people were killed yesterday, many of them asleep in their beds, when a giant wall of water carrying tons of mud and debris surged through the city of Mocoa, Colombia, after heavy rains caused a nearby river to overflow. Many people are still missing, hospitals are overwhelmed and blood supplies are running low. You can read more about the tragedy HERE.

Translation: "I follow with my prayers the victims of this tragedy that happened in my country. I call for all possible humanitarian help for the affected. Shak"

She then tweeted a link for UNICEF donations: HERE.
NOTE: Website in Spanish. Donations in Colombian pesos. 1 dollar = 2846,45 colombian pesos. Take the value in colombian pesos and divide by 2846,45, you'll get the amount in dollars.
