‘We need help;’ north Colombia children starving to death
Recent drought, ongoing corruption, the use of drinking water by thelocal coal mine and an economic slowdown have only aggravated the situation of children in La Guajira, one of Colombia’s richest departments in terms of natural resources.

However, since the December order, at least four more children died in La Guajira because of their families’ lack of access to food and water.Disgracefully, the court order only further exposed the government’s inability to provide the most basic food products and water.
While the general welfare of Colombia’s children falls under the responsibilityof Family Welfare, Plazas said that her office’s inability to adequately attend the famine is “because it’s not just a matter of will of the national government, but there are a variety of factors.”The four children who died last week had already been placed under Family Welfare care before their death, according to President Juan Manuel Santos. But Plazas denied this.
