US, UN send more troops to help in Haiti
None
Scores of US troops landed on the lawn of Haiti's shattered presidential palace Tuesday to the cheers of quake victims and the UN said it would throw more police and soldiers into the sluggish global effort to aid the devastated country.
The UN forces are aimed at controlling outbursts of looting and violence that have slowed distribution of supplies, leaving many Haitians still without help a week after the magnitude-7.0 quake killed an estimated 200,000 people. (AP)
