An investigation by ProPublica and NPR revealed that the American Red Cross built only six permanent homes in Haiti despite raising nearly $500 million for earthquake relief. Critics argue the Red Cross functions more as a blood-selling business than a charity and suggest the timing of this report serves as a "smoke screen" to distract from larger financial discrepancies within the Clinton Global Foundation's Haiti projects.

The American Red Cross and its CEO Gail McGovern are facing criticism over the lack of transparency regarding where donation money is allocated. Reports indicate the organization runs a $2.2 billion business selling donated blood, while recent high-profile fundraising for Ebola relief has shown little evidence of direct impact.

American Red Cross President Gail McGovern defended the organization's lack of a visible presence on the ground in Haiti, citing the logistical difficulty of feeding volunteers and a desire to "psychologically empower" the local Red Cross. Critics point out that the Red Cross has failed to brand its supplies or establish significant tent cities near Port-au-Prince, while the UN has built high-quality facilities for its own staff.
