Many Egyptians are fretting over price hikes that have seen the cost of everyday goods surge.
It comes after the government increased fuel prices, blaming soaring global energy markets due to the U.S.-Israeli war on Iran.
El-Sayed Mohamed, a truck driver, is among those affected. "Prices are high because vendors use trucks to transport vegetables from wholesalers, which increases the costs. Today, the cost of transporting vegetables has risen to 3,000-4,000 Egyptian pounds [78-57 USD] from the previous 2,500 pounds," he said.
