This morning, a table of fuel prices spread, which later turned out to be incorrect, according to what the Ministry of Energy, An-Nahar, and the representative of fuel distributors in Lebanon, Fadi Abu Shaqra, reported. As confirmed A member of the Gas Station Owners Syndicate, George Al-Barakis, told An-Nahar that “the fuel schedule that was issued is unofficial.”
In the context, the advisor at the Ministry of Energy and Water, Rita Shaheen, confirmed to Al-Nahar that the official schedule has not yet been released.
The prices came according to the table, which was spread as follows:
Gasoline 95 octane: 1,050,000 Lebanese pounds
Gasoline 98 octane: 1,078,000 Lebanese pounds
Diesel: 1,025,000 Lebanese pounds
Gas: 655,000 Lebanese pounds.
In addition, the fuel stations in Akkar governorate closed their doors, preventing their owners from filling any oil derivatives, noting that fuel is available in most of the tanks.
And after the black market opened at a price of 55,800 pounds, the dollar rose again, some time ago, to cross the 56,000 threshold.
In the context, the “tuk-tuk” drivers cut off the international road at the roundabout in Benin al-Abdah at the southern entrance to Akkar governorate, in protest against the poor living conditions and the high prices.
Protesters also blocked Al-Muhammarah Road at the Nahr Al-Bared Bridge, and the army intervened to resolve problems between passers-by and protesters, and the road was reopened.
In addition, the owners of the vans blocked the southern entrance to the city of Baalbek, the locality of Al-Jabali, in both directions, in protest against the high cost of fuel and the deterioration of conditions.

Protesters also blocked the Beddawi highway with trucks for the same reason.
