''Two Years After Haiti Earthquake, Where Did the Money Go?''

read more from new american....


"Two years after the Haiti earthquake on January 12, 2010 — which killed 316,000, injured 300,000 more, left one million homeless, and destroyed $8 billion in property — most of the billions of dollars pledged to help the island recover can’t be accounted for. And of that which can be, precious little found its way into the hands and mouths of the Haitians themselves.


Some $12 billion was pledged, including $2.75 billion from the United States, $650 millionfrom the European Union, and the balance from 35 other countries."
