The International Committee of the Red Cross (ICRC) reports that armed conflict in Colombia over the past year has inflicted the worst impact on civilians in a decade. The ICRC says fighting involving criminal gangs, rebel groups, and the Colombian state continues to drive civilian harm, with displacement rising sharply. According to the report, the number of people displaced during 2025 doubles to 235,000. The ICRC describes the increase as evidence of escalating strain on affected communities, where civilians are increasingly caught in the violence and forced to flee their homes. Across the coverage, outlets highlight the same core findings: the humanitarian impact is at its highest level in ten years and displacement has surged substantially over the past year. The reports attribute the displacement figures to ongoing clashes among armed actors, including criminal gangs and rebel groups, alongside state forces. The ICRC’s assessment focuses on civilian consequences rather than battlefield changes, emphasizing humanitarian impact and mobility disruptions.
