Haiti: Haitian police detain 10 US citizens on suspicion of child trafficking

Karlotta BahnsenJanuary 31, 2010

The UN has warned that heavy rains could arrive in Haiti in mid-February, while as many as a million Haitians are still homeless - provoking a potential public health catastrophe. 18 days after the deadly earthquake which killed some 180 thousand people, the situation for those who survived remains chaotic.

On Saturday, haitian police arrested ten US citizens supected of kidnapping more than 30 children.
