The United Nations estimates a total of US$ 13.34 billion has been earmarked for the 2010 Haiti earthquake that inflicted $ 7.8 billion in damages , yet two years after the 2010 quake , less than half of that amount had actually been released , according to U.N. documents . This is due in a large part to the perceived corruption of the Haitian government , and yet less than 5 % of Humanitarian aid was channeled through it . According to the UN Office of the Special Envoy for Haiti , as of March 2012 , of Humanitarian funding committed or disbursed by bilateral and multilateral donors in 2010 and 2011 , only 1 % has been pledged to the Haitian Government Haiti 's infant mortality rate of 53 deaths per 1,000 live births ( in 2011 ) is a result of the poor healthcare system . The country made notable progress in health indicators , with infant mortality decreasing 44 % since 1990 , faster than the global average , according to the 2014 United Nations Development Program report
