UN approves international force to aid Haiti amid gang violence

The United Nations Security Council has authorised the deployment of a multi-national security force to Haiti.

It’s designed to help the Haitian police battle heavily armed gangs that have become increasingly powerful there.

But it’s not clear when the force will arrive, or who, other than Kenya, will contribute to it.
