Introduction:
The African country of Niger is rarely mentioned in this country. Among the only times you hear Niger mentioned is in relation to the Wilson/Plame/Rove scandal. But today in Niger, 3.3 million people, including almost a million children, are facing starvation after a drought and locusts wiped out last year's harvest. We go to Niamey, Niger for a report from Doctors Without Borders.
