Additional Information / Shotlist As a result of the peace process, there has been in a decrease in the number of clashes between armed groups, but civilians continue to be caught up in violence as criminal organizations fight for control of territory. The population is exposed to murder, forced displacement, extortion, sexual violence and confinement. MSF teams focused on the urban areas of Tumaco and Buenaventura. They offered psychological support to 3,953 people affected by violence exercised in the context of organized crime and by armed groups that have arisen in the current post-conflict situation. Teams also provided comprehensive care for 722 victims of sexual violence. MSF is also present in Cali and Puerto Asís. A mobile emergency team is also ready to assist in different parts of the country.
