The United Nations has voiced deep concern at mass US deportations of Haitian migrants, warning that people with serious asylum claims may be at risk.

UN spokeswoman Marta Hurtado told reporters in Geneva that the UN human rights and refugee agencies stressed that everyone applying for asylum has a right to have their claims considered.

He said we are seriously concerned by the fact that it appears that there has not been any individual assessment in the (Haiti) cases.
