Fuel Panic In Kathmandu As Middle East Tensions Escalate
Motorists queue with their vehicles at the Nepal Police petrol pump in Kathmandu, Nepal, on March 3, 2026, amid rumors of a possible fuel shortage following escalating tensions and military strikes involving Iran, Israel, and the United States. Nepal imports all of its petroleum products from India, which refines crude oil largely sourced from Middle Eastern countries, including Saudi Arabia, Iraq, and the United Arab Emirates. Concerns over potential disruption of global oil supply routes, particularly through the Strait of Hormuz, trigger panic buying in the capital. (Photo by Safal Prakash Shrestha/NurPhoto)
