Protests are spreading across Syria after the government sharply increased fuel prices.

Diesel prices rose by 40%, while gasoline increased by around 26–28%. Demonstrators have blocked roads and burned tires in several cities, including Maarrat al-Numan, Khan Shaykhun, Azaz, Idlib and Hama.

The government says the increases are temporary, citing global energy prices and the shutdown of the Banias refinery for maintenance.
