The article addressed the diesel shortage crisis in Lebanon, which has worsened since the beginning of the week. The affected areas, especially the Bekaa region, have experienced a halt in fuel availability, leading farmers to be unable to irrigate their crops or operate agricultural machinery. This has raised concerns about significant losses in harvests during peak agricultural season. The industrial sector has also been impacted, as some factories have had to reduce production or cease operations due to the unavailability of diesel. The President of the National Farmers Union confirmed that the crisis is caused by a diesel cartel monopoly and the state's abandonment of its oil facilities, despite government promises to increase fuel prices, which have repeatedly led to deteriorating availability. He called for presidential intervention to put an end to this crisis, warning that if it continues, given the lack of official market oversight, it will further exacerbate farmers’ and production sectors’ suffering and threaten food security.
