Colombia: farmers affected by weapon contamination in Caquetá set to start a new life

In 2012, the ICRC assisted over 200 victims of weapon contamination in Colombia. Many of these people have had to leave their homes, have lost their livelihoods or the physical ability to perform a job and are struggling to cope with serious physical and psychological consequences. Three people who received support from the ICRC in Florencia, in south-eastern Colombia, tell how they are trying to overcome this unexpected predicament.
