Fuel price rises are driving discontent in Syria, testing support for the government of Ahmed al‑Sharaa.

In recent weeks, the cost of petrol and diesel has climbed sharply, putting a strain on households that are already struggling to recover from years of conflict.

The government has faced criticism for its handling of the economic crisis, with many Syrians expressing frustration over the lack of relief measures.

Experts say that rising fuel costs are a key factor in the broader inflationary trend that has affected food and transportation prices across the country.

As the country continues its post‑Assad recovery, the government must address these economic pressures to maintain public confidence.
