Doctors Without Borders states that it is still evaluating how it can provide humanitarian aid in Nepal after an environmental disaster. The organization is at this moment understanding how its intervention could fit into the response to the situation.

João Antunes, executive director of Doctors Without Borders in Portugal, explains the difficulties the organization faces to intervene in the country. The statement comes in a context of environmental disaster in Nepal.

The international medical humanitarian aid organization operates in several countries and is known for its response capacity in crises, but in this specific case it faces particular challenges in defining its role.
