During the morning of this Saturday, the Unit for the Victims, made the payment to 40 victims displaced by the armed conflict in the country who reside in Barranquilla and Soledad, and who are part of the total of 1.765 people that the entity has managed to compensate administratively, since that a state of emergency was decreed due to Covid-19.
The compensation letters delivered from the Unit's Atlantic Territorial headquarters total $224.700,000, so the Unit's investment to repair the victims in this department to date exceeds $ 14 billion.
Complying with biosecurity and preventive isolation measures, the Unit has made these payments through orientation and advisory sessions on the appropriate investment of resources, in which the victims are previously summoned and treated at intervals of an hour and a half, at headquarters and regional service centers.
These administrative compensations, in accordance with resolution 1049 of 2019, have benefited people who meet the prioritization requirements to obtain this reparation measure and who present situations of manifest urgency or extreme vulnerability due to being over 74 years of age, due to disability or orphan, ruinous, catastrophic, or high-cost diseases.
Between the months of September and December, the Unit will continue to advance in the reparation of the victims of conflict, by initiating the payment of those who are on the general route through a technical prioritization method, that is, a process that will analyze various characteristics of the victim by evaluating demographic, socioeconomic, and characterization variables of the victimizing act.
In the historical records of the entity as of today, there are already 21.723 in the department, compensation payments for 20.211 households that are victims of the conflict, with a total of resources that exceeds $ 155.603 million.
