Photo of the Day: Humanitarian action in Colombia

potd july 18

Today’s photo comes from the International Committee of the Red Cross (ICRC) in Colombia. In 2012, more than 200,000 people benefited from support from the ICRC who assisted and protected victims in need of immediate relief in the aftermath of armed violence in Colombia. The ICRC distributed food, hygiene items and household utensils to displaced families, while also paying for threatened people to relocate, covering funeral costs, paying for medicines and treatment, taking the wounded and sick from conflict zones to be treated, and delivering materials to rebuild infrastructure. Check out the interactive map to read feature stories on how the ICRC has responded  in that region.
