The executive director of Oxfam International said on Sunday she was heartbroken by a sexual misconduct scandal in Haiti involving aid workers that prompted Britain’s government to threaten to cut off aid funding to charities.

Oxfam, one of Britain’s biggest charities, has condemned the behavior of some former staff in Haiti after The Times said aid workers paid for sex while on a mission to help those affected by the 2010 earthquake.
