Pakistan's households feeling the pinch as food prices soar amid Middle East conflict
Global energy shocks due to the war on Iran have forced Pakistan to raise fuel prices, sending costs for fruits and vegetables soaring even at government-subsidised Ramadan markets. Vendors said rising fuel prices have doubled the cost of transporting fruits and vegetables to the market, forcing traders to adjust prices. Analysts have warned that the crisis could deepen across the country if authorities fail to act now. Hira Mustafa reports from Islamabad.
