Doctors Without Borders: 2020 a year like no other. The photos

2020 was a year like no other. What impact has the pandemic had on countries already in difficulty, some already affected by civil wars, violence and poverty? The international organization tells it Doctors Without Borders in this photo gallery made with the shots of his photographers present in different areas of the world.

“The Covid-19 pandemic has characterized much of our work”, explains Doctors Without Borders. “However, there was no lack of missions to stem measles outbreaks in the Democratic Republic of Congo, provide medical care following disasters, such as the Beirut explosion, and rescue lives in the Mediterranean Sea, until administrative shutdowns blocked almost all of the humanitarian ships, preventing our life-saving action ».

In these twelve months, the photographers of Doctors Without Borders have witnessed and accompanied the action of the humanitarian organization and told «the stories of our patients and the work of doctors, nurses, health promoters and logisticians».

This collection of images chronicles MSF’s intervention in places where it would have been unthinkable before the pandemic. Like hospitals and nursing homes in Italy, Spain and the United States. “And in others where our action was even more indispensable in such a difficult year, such as Syria and Yemen”.
