Haiti's prime minister today called for patience from residents of the Caribbean nation amid deadly protests over an unpopular fuel price rise.
At least one person has died there in the past day.
The capital Port-au-Prince has stood paralysed since yesterday with major routes blocked, following the government announcement that gasoline prices would rise by 38 per cent, diesel by 47 per cent and kerosene by 51 per cent starting this weekend.
"I ask your patience because our administration has a vision, a clear program," said Prime Minister Jack Guy Lafontant. "Do not destroy, because every time it's Haiti that becomes poorer."
