BRITISH charity Oxfam has been banned from working in Haiti following a sexual misconduct and abuse scandal involving its staff in the aftermath of the 2010 earthquake.

Aid workers were alleged to have been involved in “sex parties” with prostitutes there.

The charity’s head of operations in Haiti Roland van Hauwermeiren said he was “deeply ashamed” of his actions and admitted to having a sexual relationship with an aid recipient, although he denied using prostitutes.
