US military ends major relief operations in Haiti

None

The US military announced the end of major relief operations in Haiti on Tuesday, nearly five months after the country's devastating Jan. 12 earthquake.

 

Spearheaded by the US Army's 82nd Airborne Division, thousands of American troops were deployed in Haiti as part of Operation Unified Response. The troops helped to distribute food and keep the peace after the quake, which killed more than 300,000 people, according to Haitian government estimates.  (Reuters)
