BOGOTA (Reuters) - Clashes between Colombia's illegal armed groups worsened the country's humanitarian situation last year, with civilians subject to forced displacements and confinements, the International Committee of the Red Cross (ICRC) said on Wednesday.

Colombia's long-running internal conflict has killed at least 450,000 people and displaced millions.
