Oxfam has been hit with dozens more misconduct allegations in the days since The Times of London revealed Oxfam tried to cover up sex crimes by senior aid workers in Haiti after the devastating 2010 earthquake. On Tuesday, Oxfam's leadership was questioned by British lawmakers, and apologized for its failure to report sexual misconduct to Haitian authorities.

For more, we speak with Sean O'Neill, chief reporter at The Times newspaper in London, which broke the story of the scandal.
