Aid to Syria delayed by political complications

Turkey and Syria are reeling from the devastating earthquakes which have killed thousands of people. Humanitarian groups warn the earthquakes could worsen a crisis both countries were already facing prior to the earthquakes. Andrew Tabler, a Martin J. Gross senior fellow at the Washington Institute, and the former National Security Council director for Syria, joined CBS News to discuss how the complicated politics in the region is becoming an obstacle to help those impacted by the earthquakes.

Rescue workers are in a race against time to find any survivors buried beneath the rubble of thousands of collapsed buildings. Arwa Damon, board president and co-founder of the International Network for Aid, Relief and Assistance, a nonprofit that provides access to medical and mental health care for children impacted by war, joined Anne-Marie Green on "CBS News Mornings" to discuss the humanitarian crisis unfolding in the region.
