Food and fuel shortages. Effects of protests in the south of the country

Naples is experiencing severe disruptions due to a strike by transport workers, leading to empty supermarket shelves and closed gas stations. Truck drivers are blocking roads and halting deliveries, causing shortages of fresh produce and dairy products. Many residents are sharing information about available supplies and fuel. Solidarity with the strikers is evident among customers, although some stores may close temporarily. The strike has also impacted local mozzarella production, as farmers cannot deliver milk to dairies. Other southern regions of Italy, like Calabria, are facing similar shortages. The government is set to hold an emergency meeting to discuss financial aid for the transport sector.
