No, they aren't. They raised $500m for Haiti and either embezzled it or incompetently wasted it. [1]
Their website contains claims that can only be described as fraud (claiming to help more people in an area than actually reside there, among other things).
There administration fees were well over 1/3rd in Haiti.
It's theft, basically.

- 0xy 5y agoThey both work under the banner of the ICRC, which was involved in both the Haiti disaster (I'm talking about the Red Cross' incompetence, not the earthquake) as well as Ukraine operations. It's hard to see how a corrupt incompetent organization would be different because an affiliated entity is operating in another country (Ukraine also has its own corruption problems). After this much graft and incompetence, why trust them with more millions?
