Haitian Armed Groups Have Displaced 1 Million from Their Homes
--------------------------------------------------------------

In Haiti, the United Nations warns a surge of violence by armed groups
has pushed the number of people displaced from their homes past 1
million. That's more than three times the number of people displaced
this time last year. More than half of those uprooted by the violence
are children. The U.N.'s Human Rights Office reports that last year gang
violence across Haiti left more than 5,600 people dead.
