The US says it has increased funding for the Multinational Security Support (MSS) mission in Haiti, as Kenya again said it was on standby to deploy.

A day after Nairobi said it would delay sending some 1,000 police officers to Haiti following the resignation of Prime Minister Ariel Henry, Washington again sought assurances from Nairobi.
