Sri Lankan union workers protest against the government as food and fuel shortages increase in the crisis-hit island nation. "Irrespective of classes, the people have come out to the streets," says union leader Anupa Nandula. "They don't have electricity, they don't have gas to cook, they don't have food and there will be a food crisis," he added. Armed with banners and slogans, dozens of protesters also gathered in front of the US Embassy in Colombo to demonstrate against Sri Lankan President Gotabaya Rajapaksa. IMAGES AND SOUNDBITES
