➜ despite pledging $1.15 billion, united states has sent $0 to haiti

kateoplis: of the more than $5 billion pledged to haiti during an aid conference back in march, less than 2 percent has made its way to the devastated island nation. only four countries have paid anything at all: brazil, norway, estonia and australia. venezuela promised even more — $1.32 billion. It has also paid nothing, although it has written off some of haiti’s debt.

the quake left more than 220,000 dead, 300,000-plus injured and more than 1 million homeless. it destroyed 60 percent of government infrastructure and left more than 180,000 homes uninhabitable. six months later, more than 1.5 million remain in overcrowded displacement camps.
