Red Cross defends response to Hurricane Sandy two years on

Clip: 10/29/2014 | 6m 29s

Suzy DeFrancis of the American Red Cross discusses the organization’s response.

After Hurricane Sandy devastated the northeast in 2012, the Red Cross supplied food, clothes and shelter to tens of thousands left homeless by the storm. But two years later, internal documents show logistical problems and communication snafus led to wasteful spending and unmet needs. Gwen Ifill turns to Suzy DeFrancis of the American Red Cross for the organization’s response.
