Protesters gathered outside the Clinton Foundation in Harlem to complain about "missing money" from the US State Dept's recovery effort for the 2010 Haitian earthquake.
"New Yorkers with roots in Haiti protested, saying the picture [of the Haiti recovery] isn't so rosy," said the NY1-TV anchor."People raised their voices to call attention to the missing money. They protested outside the offices of the Clinton Foundation, which helped lead the reconstruction fund."
The protesters claimed that the US State Dept's $10 billion meant to help rebuild Haiti did little to help the country after the devastating 2010 quake. And that much of the money went to non-Haitian companies. Said one proteser, “The Haitian people are still living in very difficult conditions, still living under tents, while Bill Clinton and his cronies--they waste this money."
As secretary of state under the Obama administration, Hillary Clinton devoted much of her time in 2010 to the Haiti recovery.
