Entire rural communities in Colombia are trapped by armed groups, unable to leave their villages for food, healthcare or education. This is one of the world's most severe yet overlooked displacement crises, ranking third in the Norwegian Refugee Council's list of neglected emergencies. After six decades of armed conflict, millions remain internally displaced, with Indigenous and Afro-Colombian communities among the hardest hit. The crisis remains largely invisible due to limited media coverage and international attention, yet the needs for shelter, healthcare and legal protection are immense.
