Five police officers were buried Tuesday in Haiti, but clashes between police and supporters of ousted president Jean-Bertrand Aristide continue.
Forty-six people have died in the recent violence, 17 of them in the past week.
Food distribution by humanitarian organizations trying to help flood victims in the northern city of Gonaives was suspended because of the security situation.
Access to the docks in Port-au-Prince has also been blocked, cutting off shipments from the UN World Food Program.
The Aristide supporters are calling for his return to Haiti and an end to what they call the invasion of the country by foreign troops.
