<p>Forced displacement in the Catatumbo region has led to the formation of settlements for conflict victims in Ocaña, Norte de Santander. Therefore, to understand the adaptation process of these families in their new territory, this research aims to describe the living conditions of the displaced population from a multidimensional poverty perspective. For this purpose, 60 interviews were conducted with families linked to the Association of Displaced People of the Province of Ocaña (ASODEPO) in the year 2018. The results allowed for the analysis of dimensions such as health, education, and housing, revealing that, in each of the families, the displacement situation leads to a deprivation of capabilities that marginalizes these communities into poverty-stricken environments.</p>
