Fears of more violence in Port-au-Prince as President Jovenel Moise refuses calls to resign.
For months, people in Haiti have protested in sometimes violent demonstrations that appear to be getting worse.
A deepening economic crisis and growing fuel and food shortages have sent thousands of people to the streets.
Protesters are demanding the resignation of President Jovenel Moise, who is accused of corruption and mismanaging the economy.
Frequent natural disasters have also made things worse for millions of Haitians.
