THE United States’ ambassador to the United Nations announced fresh millions for Haiti during a trip to the troubled Caribbean nation on Monday.

Ambassador Linda Thomas-Greenfield said the US would provide $60 million (£46m) in additional humanitarian assistance to the island.

The ambassador also said the US Defence Department would provide a “substantial increase” in mine-resistant vehicles to support the US-sponsored multinational security mission led by Kenya to help Haiti’s national police combat widespread gang violence.
