The food shortage in Haiti is becoming a more serious problem as pressure mounts on international aid groups already struggling to feed the country’s poor.  According to Bill Canny, director of the Catholic Relief Services in the capital city Port-au-Prince, his group gets funds from the United State government to provide food for Haitians who can’t afford the rising food prices.  Last week, thousands of Haitians riotedo n the streets to protest against increasing food prices and called for the resignation of the prime minister and President Rene Preval.
