UNITED STATES – The United Nations Security Council has approved a U.S. proposal to more than double an international force fighting gangs in Haiti.

This is as Russia and China continue to criticize Washington. 

armed groups control most of Port-au-Prince, forcing over a million people from their homes. 

UNICEF says children make up about half of the gang members.
