Fuel supply shortages hit one in five petrol stations in France

Nearly one in five petrol stations across France are experiencing fuel supply shortages. This situation stems from surging global oil prices, which are increasing pressure at the pump for consumers. The French government attributes the shortages to logistical strains and high demand at discounted outlets, leading to growing public frustration. Road blockades are emerging as a sign of wider unease, with households and businesses bracing for rising energy costs.
