The Magdalena Medio region remains affected by ongoing armed conflict and territorial disputes between non-state armed groups, particularly in the Serranía de San Lucas and other strategic corridors linked to illicit economies. This situation has led to significant displacement, with nearly 19,600 people displaced in 2025. Meanwhile, the country has seen a substantial decrease in suspected dengue cases compared to the previous year and the average.

The persistence of armed conflict and territorial disputes poses a significant challenge to humanitarian efforts, particularly in regions like Magdalena Medio. Funding for humanitarian operations remains well below requirements, with less than half of the necessary funds secured.

Nearly 19,600 individuals were displaced in 2025 due to conflict in Magdalena Medio. The country also reported a cumulative incidence of 159 dengue cases per 100,000 population in epidemiological week 35 of 2026, though this represents a significant decrease from the previous year.

Details on the specific needs of the displaced population in Magdalena Medio are not yet covered in recent reporting.
