Fuel Prices Surge in Pakistan Amid Iran-US and Israel Conflict
Pakistan is grappling with a worsening fuel crisis as the Iran-U.S. and Israel conflict disrupts global energy supplies. The country, which imports around 40% of its energy, has been hit hard by reduced liquified natural gas supplies from Qatar. Petrol prices have surged to a record high, putting additional pressure on households already struggling with inflation. The government has proposed measures such as work-from-home policies to reduce fuel consumption and ease the economic strain.
