What Happened To The Aid Meant To Rebuild Haiti?
A view of a tent city is seen on January 8, 2013 in Marassa, a suburb of Port-au-Prince. Three years after the earthquake that devastated Haiti, 360,000 people are still living under tarps: among them, the inhabitants of the camps 'Marassa', located northeast of Port-au-Prince, who feel abandoned by everyone. About 750 families, or 5,000 people, coexist in these makeshift camps three 'Marassa' 9, 10 and 14, under the permanent threat of a large river that runs through the neighborhood.

After a devastating earthquake hit Haiti in 2010, governments and foundations from around the world pledged more than $9 billion to help get the country back on its feet.

Only a fraction of the money ever made it. And Haiti's President Michel Martelly says the funds aren't "showing results."

Roughly 350,000 people still live in camps. Many others simply moved back to the same shoddily built structures that proved so deadly during the disaster.
