Resumen del año

En 2019, los equipos de Médicos Sin Fronteras, integrados por 65.000 personas, proporcionaron ayuda médica y humanitaria en más de 70 países.

El Ébola siguió propagándose en el noreste de República Democrática del Congo, al igual que la peor epidemia de la historia del país. Dos ciclones y unas graves inundaciones devastaron parte de Mozambique, Sudán y Sudán del Sur. El conflicto se agravó en el Sahel y en Yemen, y miles de migrantes, refugiados y solicitantes de asilo quedaron atrapados en Libia, Grecia y México, expuestos a la violencia y la enfermedad.

Dedicamos este resumen del año a las personas que nos apoyan con sus fondos: su generosidad permitió que nuestros equipos se pusieran al servicio de quienes necesitaban ayuda.

      La respuesta al Ébola en República Democrática del Congo

      En agosto de 2018, las autoridades de República Democrática del Congo (RDC) confirmaron un brote de Ébola que acabaría siendo el más grave que haya conocido este país. La epidemia se propagó por las comunidades de las provincias de Kivu Norte e Ituri, que ya estaban gravemente afectadas por décadas de conflictos armados.
