Operation San Roque, developed by the National Army of Colombia within the Motilón Barí community in response to the COVID-19 pandemic contingencies, was a humanitarian effort that allowed the delivery of goods and services within the disputed territory of Catatumbo. This effort created a space that generated the interaction of two social groups with different lifestyles. To examine the groups’ lifestyles in relation to the mentioned donations, this study employed semi-structured interviews whose outputs were analyzes using PCA and K-means clustering. The results obtained revealed how both groups’ particular preferences, needs, and opinions determine the limitations and benefits that the National Army’s humanitarian operations can have within this society.
