A class action lawsuit filed on Nov. 25 against the American Red Cross alleges that the organization misused more than $500 million raised for Haiti earthquake relief between 2010 and 2024.
The lawsuit, filed in federal court in the Southern District of Florida, accuses the Red Cross of exploiting the catastrophic 2010 earthquake in Haiti, as well as subsequent disasters in 2016, 2018, 2021, and 2023, to raise funds under false pretenses.
