Source text - Dutch 2004 was een jaar dat gekenmerkt werd door rampen; van de aardbeving in Bam, Iran op 26 december 2003 tot de tsunami in Azië die meer dan 300.000 slachtoffers eiste. Maar meer nog waren er noodsituaties die niet uit natuurgeweld voortkwamen. Het waren conflicten die in de media kwamen zoals Palestina en Irak, maar ook de ‘vergeten’ conflicten, zoals Tsjetsjenië, Darfur, Democratische Republiek Congo, Oeganda, Nepal en Colombia, waar de bevolking systematisch het slachtoffer is tegen alle conventies van Genève in.
Met name de tsunami had een enorme impact waarbij de hele wereld massaal reageerde met hulp aan de getroffen gebieden. Deze fantastische wereldwijde mobilisering van individuele mensen, organisaties en overheden om te komen tot persoonlijke en financiële hulp voor de overlevenden geeft aan tot hoeveel de wereld in staat is bij samenwerking en compassie in noodsituaties.
Schrijnend is dan ook de internationale desinteresse voor andere crisissen zoals in Democratische Republiek Congo en Oeganda, waarin met name vrouwen en kinderen het slachtoffer werden, omdat zij nog steeds de meest kwetsbare posities innemen.
De tragedie die zich afspeelt in Darfur is een van de grootste humanitaire
crisissen van de laatste jaren. Ondanks de aangenomen VN-resoluties voor de bescherming van de burgerbevolking en de juridische mogelijkheid om de verantwoordelijken die oorlogsmisdaden hebben begaan te kunnen vervolgen, worden dorpen nog steeds in brand gestoken, burgers aangevallen en zijn vrouwen en meisjes nog steeds het slachtoffer van seksueel geweld. Dokters van de Wereld verzorgt de medische hulpverlening in kamp Kalma en riep meermaals publiekelijk op tot het
respecteren van de VN-resoluties.
Translation - English 2004 was a year marred with catastrophes; starting with the earthquake in Bam Iran on December 26, 2003, and ending with the tsunami in Asia that claimed more than 300,000 lives. There were an even greater number of emergency situations that arose from non-natural disasters. The Palestinian and Iraqi conflicts received wide media attention. Then there were ‘forgotten’ conflicts in which all Geneva Conventions were violated in places such as Chechnya, Darfur, Democratic Republic of Congo, Uganda, Nepal, and Colombia where offenses occurred systematically against civilians.
The tsunami in particular had an enormous impact and resulted in a monumental worldwide response. Generous offers of help poured into the affected areas. This incredible worldwide mobilization of individual people, organizations, and governments offering personal and financial help to the survivors, illustrates how much the world is capable of showing compassion and working together in an emergency situation.
In contrast, sorely lacking is the international interest in crises such as in the Democratic Republic Congo and Uganda where women and children are especially victimized because of their social and cultural vulnerability to abuse.
The tragedy unfolding in Darfur is an example of one of the most tragic humanitarian crises in recent years. Despite the adoption of the UN resolutions to protect civilians and offer legal opportunities to prosecute those responsible for war crimes; villages are still burned down, people are still attacked, and women and girls are still victims of sexual assaults. Doctors of the World, providing medical care in Camp Kalma, have publicly and repeatedly asked for respect of the UN resolutions.
