How much do you think it would cost to rebuild Haiti to its original state? Twigs and trash do not cost that much.
People bitching about companies taking the money... well how about the governments who promised money?

In July, as much as 98% of the rubble from the quake remains uncleared. An estimated 26 cubic yards (20 m3) million remain, making most of the capital impassable.[210] Thousands of bodies remain in the rubble. The number of people in relief camps of tents and tarps since the quake remains at 1.6 million, and almost no transitional housing has been built. Most of the camps have no electricity, running water, or sewage disposal, and the tents are beginning to fall apart. Crime in the camps is widespread, especially against women and girls. Between 23 major charities, $1.1 billion has been collected for Haiti for relief efforts. Two percent of the money has been released.[211][212] According to a CBS report, $3.1 billion was pledged for humanitarian aid and has paid for field hospitals, plastic tarps, bandages, and food, plus salaries, transportation and upkeep of relief workers. By May 2010, enough aid had been raised internationally to give each displaced family a check for $37,000
