Haiti Parking Lot, Oasis Hotel, Al Jazeera Reporting
A specific instance of aid failure in Haiti is highlighted where a school was demolished to create a parking lot for a UN agency. Meanwhile, the Clinton Bush Haiti Fund invested $2 million in a $45 million five-star hotel called the Oasis. The hosts praise Al Jazeera for doing "actual reporting" on these issues while other networks have moved on.
Haiti Earthquake Death Toll Revision and Luxury Hotels
A USAID report has significantly revised the estimated death toll of the 2010 Haiti earthquake downward. The hosts also criticize the Bush-Clinton Haiti Fund for reportedly financing a luxury boutique hotel, the Oasis Haiti, intended for elites and aid workers rather than the displaced population.
Clinton Bush Haiti Fund, Luxury Hotel Investment
The Clinton Bush Haiti Fund announced a $2 million investment to complete the construction of the Oasis Hotel, a luxury 130-room project in Port-au-Prince. The hosts criticize the use of charitable donations for high-end real estate rather than direct aid for earthquake victims. They question the whereabouts of the billions of dollars collected through celebrity-led fundraising efforts.
