Protests broke out across parts of Syria on Sunday after the government sharply increased fuel prices, with demonstrators blocking roads and calling for the decision to be reversed as rising living costs put further pressure on households. In the countryside around Aleppo, videos circulating online showed protesters taking to the streets in Azaz and Al-Bab, chanting against the price increases and shutting down roads in opposition to the government decision.
Demonstrations were also reported in Hama, Khan Sheikhoun and Maarat al-Numan. Near Maarat al-Numan in southern Idlib countryside, protesters blocked the M5 international highway, with footage showing burning tires obstructing the roadway.
