Gunfire rings out in Haiti's capital Port-au-Prince as protesters throw stones in an angry response to expected new fuel price hikes and crime

Demonstrators gather at a road block during protests over rising fuel prices and crime as inflation surged to its highest in a decade.

Tuesday's demonstrations come as inflation surged to its highest in a decade, chronic gang violence has left much of Haiti's territory beyond government reach, and outbreaks of bloody turf battles between rival gangs have left hundreds dead and thousands displaced. Haitians are now bracing for fuel price hikes, after a Sunday speech by Prime Minister Ariel Henry, amid a growing scarcity of gasoline and diesel that could force some businesses to shutter.

Another video shows dozens of Haitians scattering in the street after the sound of gun blasts, then switches to scenes of people being attended to after suffering apparent gunshot wounds.
