Fuel shortages hit 18 percent of French gas stations

Approximately 18% of petrol stations in France are currently experiencing fuel supply shortages, according to government reports released on Tuesday. The shortages have sparked localized protests, including a roadblock in the western city of Nantes, as drivers react to rising costs at the pump. While the international conflict involving the United States, Israel, and Iran has entered its sixth week, French officials stated that the domestic supply crunch is primarily due to internal logistical issues rather than the direct fallout from the war.
