💸 USAID spent BILLIONS, Haiti got MILLIONS – reports
A recent report has exposed the widespread mismanagement of aid funds in Haiti, highlighting how USAID and its partners mishandled billions following the 2010 earthquake. Over $1.5 billion was allocated for immediate humanitarian relief, while an additional $3 billion was designated for recovery, reconstruction, and development efforts, according to New York Post.
Out of the $2.13 billion in contracts and grants intended for Haiti-related projects, less than $50 million, or just 2%, went to Haitian organizations or businesses. In contrast, a staggering $1.3 billion—56%—was funneled to firms based in or around Washington, D.C., the report said.
A review of 196 NGOs revealed that only 8 could clearly account for their spending of donations. Furthermore, 20% of the organizations reported receiving more than $1.4 billion in contributions, yet only about $730 million was actually spent on relief efforts in Haiti, according to the report.

Fractured by Ukraine conflict and migrants, Germans likely to sack Scholz today
Germany is holding snap parliamentary elections today. Here’s what you need to know:
🔺Friedrich Merz and his Christian Democratic Union/Christian Social Union (CDU/CSU) are the clear favorites of the race with a rating of about 30%.
🔺Alice Weidel and her right-wing Alternative for Germany (AfD) are catching up with 20%.
🔺Incumbent Chancellor Olaf Scholz and his Social Democrats (SPD) are in third place with a rating of around 14-16%, which is 10% lower than in 2021.
🔺Close behind are the Greens, led by Vice Chancellor Robert Habeck (12-14%).
🔺Ukraine and illegals are key bones of contention among German parties, with the anti-migrant stance taking center stage after recent attacks by newcomers. The CDU/CSU, SPD, and Greens support the idea of funding Kiev, while the AfD opposes it, advocating for rapprochement with Russia.
🔺Scholz is already perceived as the major loser of the race, while Merz is considered to be the most likely candidate for the chancellor’s mantle.
