Haiti: Two years after the earthquake, where did the money go?

PORT-AU-PRINCE — TO SEE WHERE the enormous sums of humanitarian aid directed to Haiti after its catastrophic earthquake in 2010....the dollars mount into the hundreds of millions; even billions. According to some reports, the United States government, American individuals, families and humanitarian groups donated approximately $3 billion. That’s just from America with a total of something like $12 billion coming from all donor nations for funds to be disbursed.

“If you read the reports, you’ll see that actual Haitians got less than 1 percent of all the American money pledged.”
~Robert Fatton, Jr., University of Virginia professor
