Watch: Empty shelves in southern Italy amid truckers’ fuel protests

Protests by truck drivers in southern Italy over high fuel prices are causing food shortages in supermarkets. In Naples, truckers blocked ports, halting deliveries, especially of fresh produce. Reports indicate shortages of pasta, cheese, meat, and vegetables in Sicily, with panic buying exacerbating the situation. Similar issues are noted in Calabria and Puglia. Transport operators are seeking assistance to manage increasing diesel costs.
