Military action freezes Haiti aid funds endangering food relief
U S officials report 11.9 million in a Haitian bank frozen by the military since May 1, hindering payments for private humanitarian groups feeding more than 700,000 Haitians. The move escalates the crisis after Aristide's 1991 ouster and amid threats of possible intervention. Violence and displacement rise with killings blamed on army backed gunmen in Cite Soleil as families flee slums and mourn four dead in a May clash.
