Presentación

En 2023, mientras el mundo se veía sacudido una vez más por devastadores desastres naturales y brutales guerras, Médicos Sin Fronteras (MSF) trabajábamos para ayudar a las personas que necesitaban atención médica y servicios básicos.

Además de nuestras actividades habituales, lanzamos respuestas de emergencia ante fuertes terremotos en Turquía, Siria, Marruecos y Afganistán. También ayudamos a comunidades atrapadas en guerras en Sudán y en los Territorios Palestinos Ocupados, así como en otros conflictos en todo el mundo.

Resumen del año 2023

Los conflictos fueron una de las principales causas de sufrimiento humano y vulnerabilidad en 2023, provocaron miles de muertes en todo el mundo y desplazaron a una cantidad récord de personas. Como en años anteriores, ayudar a las comunidades afectadas por la violencia fue un componente importante de los programas de Médicos Sin Fronteras (MSF).

También respondimos ante catástrofes y brotes de enfermedades, y trabajamos para mejorar la atención médica de refugiados, migrantes y otras personas en situación de marginalidad.
