| Oxfam, one of the world's most prominent relief agencies, could lose its funding from the British government over reports that its workers exploited survivors of a massive earthquake in Haiti, and possibly other disasters, for sex.
It is a "complete betrayal of both the people Oxfam were there to help and also the people that sent them there to do that job,” Britain's international development secretary, Penny Mordaunt, told BBC News, which noted that the nonprofit received $44 million in government funds last fiscal year.
Mordaunt spoke Sunday — three days after a Times of London investigation accused Oxfam's then-director in Haiti, along with other workers, of running an illegal makeshift brothel after a 2010 quake devastated the country.
