As the death count after Hurricane Matthew approaches 900 and reports of
deadly cholera outbreaks begin to surface, Haitians have sent out desperate
pleas for help.

Government officials estimate at least 350,000 people needed assistance after
the devastating storm.

Yet accompanying many requests for aid comes a warning – do not give your
money to the American Red Cross (ARC).

Trust in the ARC, and in foreign aid more widely, has been badly shaken by a
2015 report that found donations had been squandered.

Despite collecting nearly half a billion dollars to provide relief after the
2010 Haiti earthquake and pledging to build 700 permanent homes, the ARC has
been accused of only building six.

“In the coming days, many of you are going to write and ask me how you can ‘
help Haiti’,” one woman said on Twitter after the hurricane, “Do not give
to the American Red Cross.”

he asked people to give instead to Haitian organisations and requested people
not send goods that could be sourced locally.

The joint investigation by ProPublica and NPR found rampant mismanagement at
the heart of the ARC and charged it with consistent misrepresentation of the
success of its projects, particularly in housing.

The group has also been implored to hire more Haitians in its highest ranks.

Responding to the report, the American Red Cross said in a statement it was “
disappointed, once again, by the lack of balance, context and accuracy in the
most recent reporting by ProPublica and NPR”.

The allegations against the ARC came amid complaints against the failure of
the entire international community to manage the 2010 Haitian disaster.

After the earthquake, close to ￡9bn was pledged to help the country in its
recovery.

Yet critics argue that the money was not used so Haiti could be “built back
better”, as officials had promised.

Instead, an estimated 55,000 Haitians are still living in tents or other
makeshift shelters and few advances in disaster planning have been
implemented.

Following Hurricane Matthew, in Grand Anse alone there were 66,000 houses
destroyed and a further 20,000 badly damaged, according to Unicef.

Government officials estimate that at least 350,000 people needed assistance,
and concern was growing over an increase in cholera cases following
widespread flooding unleashed by the deadly storm.

An ongoing cholera outbreak has already killed some 10,000 people and more
than 800,000 have been made ill since 2010, when the infectious disease was
introduced into the country's biggest river from a UN base.


簡單來說呢 海地在剛經歷過馬修颶風的摧殘後現在又發生霍亂爆發 因此非常需要醫療
物資的支援等等

當地人民呼籲想幫忙民眾直接捐款到當地的慈善機構而不要捐給美國紅十字會(ARC) 因為
美國紅十字會在2010海地大地震時收到超過5億美金的捐款並承諾蓋700棟的房屋
但至今為止 他們實際上只蓋了6棟
