Report: Red Cross Built Just 6 Homes in Haiti after Raising $500M 
------------------------------------------------------------------


 
A new report says the Red Cross has squandered millions of dollars in
donations for Haiti after the 2010 earthquake. According to Pro Publica
and NPR, the Red Cross raised about $500 million dollars, but managed to
build just six permanent homes. The group had falsely claimed to have
provided homes to 130,000 people. Some of the money was used to boost
employee salaries and may have been used to wipe off tens of millions of
dollars in Red Cross debt.
