Humanitarian aid group Doctors Without Borders announced earlier this month that it will withdraw from operations in Somalia. And last week, it revealed that medical centers were flooded with patients showing signs of exposure to toxic nerve agents around the time of the alleged chemical weapons attack in Syria. Sophie Delaunay, Executive Director of Doctors Without Borders in the United States, talks about these recent developments, as well as the challenges and ethics of providing medical care in war-torn countries.

Yesterday we talked about some technological innovations that can help in emergency situations. Doctors Without Borders is bringing its own innovations to Haiti right now: Like the inflatable field hospital that is expected to arrive in the country today. We hear how the organization is treating the survivors of the Haiti earthquake with Sophie Delauney, executive director of Doctors Without Borders in the United States.
