Colombia is facing significant food and fuel shortages due to ongoing protests by truckers that have resulted in road blockades for four consecutive days. With the capital’s fuel supply dwindling rapidly and food supplies down by 23%, industries reliant on transport are severely impacted, causing food prices to rise. The government is grappling with the economic fallout stemming from recent diesel price increases and is urging the truckers to accept a gradual rise instead of immediate steep hikes.
