MSF Frontline Reports - Somalia Alert
30 August 2007
In this special edition, we focus on the deteriorating situation for civilians and medical workers in Mogadishu, Somalia. Somalia has been wracked by violence for nearly 16 years now. But the past months has seen some of the worst fighting ever in the capital, Mogadishu. Access to medical care and assistance for civilians and displaced persons in and around the war-ravaged Somali capital has decreased alarmingly in the past few months. Kris Torgeson has this report from Nairobi, Kenya, where MSF spoke out against the dire humanitarian situation in Mogadishu. Visit us at www.doctorswithoutborders.org or www.msf.org.

What Is Podcasting?
Podcasting is the use of RSS feeds (see RSS) to distribute multimedia content.
A podcast is an audio or video file that you can play on your computer or mobile media player. Think of it as a radio program or television show that you download over the Internet and enjoy at your convenience.
You can subscribe to podcasts using a special program called a podcasting client. The client can be set up to download the latest editions of your favorite podcasts as soon as they become available, and then copy them to your media player.
Usually individual episodes of a podcast can also be downloaded from the podcast's web site.
Free Podcasting Clients

Apple iTunes (Windows and Mac) supports podcasting.
Windows users can also try Doppler or RSSRadio.
Podnova is a podcast search engine.
