Colombia: ICRC activities from January to March 2009
The armed conflict in Colombia has had serious consequences, hitting many communities hard and isolating others. Food and other resources are scarce. Between January and March 2009, the ICRC set up new agricultural projects for local farmers and displaced persons, to help families meet their basic needs.
Weapon contamination
With support from the Colombian Red Cross, the ICRC organized 28 community talks in various cities around the country. These talks provided information on safe behaviour in areas contaminated by anti-personnel landmines, improvised explosive devices and explosive remnants of war.
