Syrian provinces protest fuel price hike
Several Syrian governorates witnessed protests and unrest on Sunday as a result of approximately a 40% hike in fuel prices. Demonstrators blocked roads in Hasakah, Deir Ezzor, Raqqa, and rural Aleppo to protest the impact of the decision on transportation, heating, and essential services. The Syrian Ministry of Energy confirmed that the price increase was due to rising global costs, especially related to the maintenance of the Banias refinery, and stated that this adjustment is temporary to ensure the continuity of supplies and availability of fuel in the local market.
