Was für ein Jahr! Vor einem Jahr hätte wohl niemand damit gerechnet, dass das Jahr 2020 so verlaufen würde, wie es schlussendlich verlief. Es war ein Jahr voller neuer Herausforderungen. 

Auch in unserer Arbeit war die COVID-19-Pandemie das vorherrschende Thema: Ärzte ohne Grenzen startete Hilfsmaßnahmen in europäischen Staaten, wie Italien und Frankreich. Für Länder, die ohnehin schon mit Krisen zu kämpfen hatten, verschlimmerte das Virus die Lage. Vielerorts mussten wir unsere Aktivitäten an die neue Situation anpassen. 

Corona war aber nicht die einzige Krise, die uns beschäftigte: Wir bekämpften Epidemien, wie Masern und Ebola. Wir halfen Menschen auf der Flucht. Wir leisteten Soforthilfe bei Katastrophen. Wir waren Sprachrohr für Menschen in Not. 

Sehen Sie hier, unseren Jahresrückblick 2020 in Bildern: 

Rotation 6 Rescue 3 Disembarkation - Brakhado* and Aeden* Story
MSF/Hannah Wallace Bowman
Brakhado* (*Name changed) gave birth to her now 11-month old son Aeden* (*Name changed) in a detention center. During her 3 years in Libya she was routinely captured, imprisoned & beaten. She saw people electrocuted & set on fire. She was separated from her husband, who was extorted for his release from prison. She tried to cross the Mediterranean multiple times. On what was supposed to be her fourth attempt, she refused to leave. She believes those onboard that boat perished: she never heard from them again.During her time in detention, she met another women with whom she became close friends and they had not seen each other until they were both rescued, from separate boats, and reunited on the deck of Ocean Viking. Brakhado was rescued together with her husband and other 91 people from a rubber boat in distress on Friday, January 24 just before dawn. She disembarked in Taranto, Italy on January 29, together with 402 people.

I was transferred to this centre and treated in the intensive care unit (ICU) for four days. With the care I received here, life came back to me. When I started feeling better, I was transferred to the inpatient department (IPD). I thank all medical staff, who helped me. After God, they are the reason why I survived", Ghanem said.
