Why are people protesting in Haiti?

Velina Charlier is an anti-corruption activist in Haiti, and says she's really worried for the future.

Fuel shortages, rising prices and allegations of government corruption have fuelled weeks of protest. The situation is deteriorating and the unrest is becoming more violent. People are calling for the resignation of the Haitian President, Jovenel Moise.
