Resumen del año

En 2017, la violencia contra la población civil se intensificó en Myanmar, República Democrática del Congo, Sudán del Sur, República Centroafricana e Irak. Y siguió sin dar tregua en Siria, Nigeria y Yemen. Comunidades enteras pagaron un abrumador precio en muertos, heridos y pérdidas. Y millones de personas se vieron obligadas a huir de sus hogares para ponerse a salvo.

      Decisiones difíciles: dar atención médica en los centros de detención de Libia

      En Libia, los migrantes y refugiados son detenidos arbitrariamente y mantenidos en centros de detención no regulados, donde no tienen garantizada la atención médica. Esta la proporcionan el puñado de organizaciones humanitarias como Médicos Sin Fronteras o las agencias de Naciones Unidas que han conseguido trabajar en este país a pesar de la violencia generalizada y la falta de seguridad.
