Wyclef Jean: "I Spent the Day Picking Up Dead Bodies"

Haitan-born rapper is on the ground in his native country helping with relief efforts and burying the dead

Wyclef Jean is continuing to do his part to rebuild and renew Haiti. 

The Haitian-born singer spent time in his homeland with his wife pulling dead bodies from the rubble of the earthquake-ravaged country. 

"We've been picking up dead bodies because the morgues ain't taking no more bodies", Jean said Saturday after arriving back from Haiti. "We're literally picking them up...some are identified with tags, putting them in the trucks and bringing them to the cemeteries. The whole Port-au-Prince is starting to smell like dead bodies, because every two blocks that's what you have." 

Jean said what disturbed him the most was that under the rubble he could hear voices of people saying "save me".  

The devastating conditions in the Caribbean nation have impeded efforts to get equipment inside that could lift the large concrete slabs trapping untold numbers of victims underneath. To make matters worse, Jean said, many Haitians are still waiting for life-saving supplies.

"Aid is finally coming in", said Jean, "but it still isn't getting to the people."

The 37-year-old Grammy winner's wife told Fox News in an interview Friday that there were so many dead bodies beneath the crumpled homes that it seemed like there were more dead than alive. 

Haitian officials have estimated the death toll in the country to be as high as 100,000, according to CNN. 

While Jean has been at the forefront of Haitian relief efforts, his charity, the Yele Haiti Foundation, has been accused by critics of squandering funds. The organization launched a campaign in the wake of the disaster, encouraging people to donate $5 to relief efforts by texting "YELE" to 501501. 

Jean issued a video statement Saturday on the organization's website regarding those accusations.

"My commitment to Haiti is a unique and everlasting bond," Jean said. "It is impossible for me to even comprehend the recent attacks on my character and the integrity of my foundation, Yele Haiti. The fact that these attacks come as we are mobilized to meet the greatest human tragedy in the history of Haiti only serves to perplex me even further. "

Jean managed to get back to Haiti only 12 hours after the earthquake struck, and has been in and out of the country since mustering up relief support.
