Lebanese Seek Diesel Tax Removal Due to High Fuel Prices

Fuel prices in Lebanon have risen due to the increase in the price of a barrel of oil from $68 to around $85. This has negatively impacted the transportation sector and living costs. The head of the fuel distributors' union confirmed that the increase led to higher transportation costs and reduced movement, with the costs of gasoline and diesel rising. For example, the cost to transport a car from Beirut to the south has jumped between $70 and $80, and to Tripoli by about $45. These increases have drained wages, as fuel expenses rose significantly, forcing citizens and their economic plans to undergo drastic changes, such as reducing car usage, sometimes selling vehicles, and decreasing entertainment spending. Despite the global decline in fuel prices, Lebanese prices have not decreased, further worsening the living conditions of the Lebanese people.
