Protests in Deir ez-Zor and surrounding areas over fuel hikes
In several areas of Raqqa, Hasakah, and Deir ez-Zor, protests broke out and roads were blocked in rejection of the Ministry of Energy's decision to raise fuel prices. The protesters closed roads with burning tires, and transportation drivers stopped working due to the sharp increase in gasoline and diesel prices, which rose significantly—by about 28.3% for gasoline and 50% for diesel. This has had negative impacts on transportation activities and daily life, as supply conditions continue to deteriorate. The ministry confirmed that the increase is temporary and aimed at ensuring the availability of supplies after the costs rose globally, especially with the Baniyas refinery entering a comprehensive maintenance period.
