UN extends Kenya&led security mission in Haiti amid rising hunger, violence
The UN extended its authorization of a multinational policing mission in Haiti led by Kenya on Monday amid reports of thousands of deaths due to gang violence this year and rising levels of acute hunger in the country. The transitional council governing Haiti said that a chronic lack of funding has hobbled the mission so far and called for the force to be transitioned into a UN peacekeeping mission, a plan the body sidestepped in its adopted text after opposition by China and Russia.
