THE United Nations Security Council has unanimously approved 3,500 extra troops and police officers to beef up security in Haiti and ensure that desperately needed aid gets to earthquake victims.
The resolution adopted unanimously yesterday by the Security Council will add 2,000 troops to the 7,000 military peacekeepers already in the country and 1,500 police to the 2,100-strong international police force.
UN peacekeeping chief Alain Le Roy said the extra soldiers are essential as they are needed to escort humanitarian convoys.
Le Roy said police were needed where food and water are being distributed.
