Clashes between armed groups in Colombia have intensified and civilians are "paying the price", despite a variety of peace talks and ceasefires implemented by the government, the International Committee of the Red Cross (ICRC) said Wednesday.
"Despite the hope and optimism generated by the ongoing negotiations, the humanitarian situation has not significantly improved," said Lorenzo Caraffi, head of the ICRC delegation in the country, as he presented a report on violations of international humanitarian law in 2023.
