Colombia court: State still lacks data on Wayuu children needing protection in La Guajira

Colombia's Constitutional Court, in a follow-up on water supply in La Guajira, found the state still cannot quantify how many Wayuu children require protection, nine years after the initial ruling. The finding underscores persistent institutional failure to address chronic water scarcity and child malnutrition in the region. This matters as it signals ongoing humanitarian neglect and potential for renewed legal pressure on the government.
