Reuters.com: "Five people have been killed in a week of demonstrations over high food prices in the poorest country in the Americas. A man died in gunfire on Monday and four others were killed during a riot last week in Les Cayes, when an angry mob looted a food warehouse and U.N. peacekeepers were attacked.
In response to the unrest, the government of President Rene Preval, whose 2006 election brought a measure of calm to a nation roiled by decades of political upheaval, announced a multimillion-dollar package of economic investments aimed at lowering the cost of living."
