Katrina recovery has "gross inequalities": Oxfam
Hurricane Katrina recovery efforts show "gross inequalities" in treatment of rich and poor, aid agency Oxfam America said in report released on Wednesday.
Oxfam studied three communities outside of New Orleans and found that neither Mississippi nor Louisiana had set aside enough money for affordable rental housing.
"For some of the region's poorest residents, things have only gotten worse in this recovery," Minor Sinclair, the director of Oxfam's U.S. regional office, said in a statement.
