The post references a 2015 ProPublica investigation revealing the American Red Cross raised nearly $500 million for Haiti's 2010 earthquake relief but built only six permanent homes, despite initial plans for 700, fueling ongoing skepticism about the organization's efficiency.
Replies expand on the scandal with details like 25% of funds spent internally, high subcontracting fees, and reports of sexual misconduct including "sex for food" exchanges, corroborated by UN and NGO audits.
