A large part of these humanitarian aids were delivered by river and respond to the pressing needs of 445 families representing 2,132 people affected by confinement.

There are 11 Afro and indigenous communities in the municipality of Murindó, 310 kilometers from Medellín, who received humanitarian aid worth 372 million pesos, from the Victims Unit, to mitigate the effects of the confinement situation that they face clashes between organized armed groups.

The aid consisting of non-perishable food kits and cleaning kits, among other elements, respond to the pressing needs of these 445 families representing 2,132 people affected by confinement.

These actions were coordinated, once the difficulties of accessing the land were overcome, within the framework of territorial committees of the Government of Antioquia and the Mayor's Office of Murindó, which allowed to give an institutional response and attend in a timely and efficient manner, through the articulation of entities of the National System of Integral Attention and Reparation to Victims (Snariv)

The armed confrontations between different organized armed groups, caused the confinement of 11 families and seven displacements to the town center, a situation that has been monitored and has called different institutions of the State, such as the Ombudsman and the Colombian Family Welfare Institute, to give a coordinated response to the affected communities.

Within the framework of the subsidiary support provided by the Unit to territorial entities to strengthen the capacity to respond to humanitarian emergencies, about 50 tons of humanitarian aid was delivered to communities that have been forced to restrict their mobility and suspend their daily and subsistence work for fear of operating these groups outside the law.

These humanitarian aids, for the most part, were transported by river by the municipal mayor's office and the Unit for Victims, to the Ñarague, Chajeradó and Chibugadó shelter. Likewise, due to the complex access to the area, they are being transported by air, with the support of the Antioquia Governorate and delivered to the ethnic communities of, Bachidubi, Coredó, Isla, Chimiadó, Guagua, Turriquitado Alto, Turriquitado Llano, Turriquitado Low.

For Elizabeth Granada Ríos, territorial director of the Unit in Urabá, “it is important this delivery that is being made from the entity, through the Department of Prevention and Emergency Assistance, to ensure a timely response and support in the immediacy of territorial entity and these communities, which also require other joint actions that allow the restoration of their rights”.
