The Haitian government has ordered a three-week delay on the forced evacuation of refugees camping out on private land, schools and markets.



For nearly two weeks, the authorities and private property owners have urged people squatting on their property to leave.



Meanwhile, Head of the United Nations mission in Port au Prince, Edmond Mulet says he wants the UN Security Council to send an extra 800 police officers to provide safety in the refugee camps.
