Campania truckers' strike sparks supermarket shortages and fuel panic

A truckers' strike over fuel prices in Campania, Italy, has caused supermarket shortages and panic buying, with fresh food supplies particularly affected. The five-day protest is now creating social disruption as families stockpile goods. In Naples, Caserta, and Salerno, eggs and meat are scarce, with empty refrigerator sections in stores. Families are buying more than needed, especially pasta, despite long-shelf-life products remaining available. Some supermarkets have turned off refrigerators due to supply gaps, while small shops with local producer contacts cope better. Fuel stations also face issues, with drivers filling tanks out of fear and some stations running dry. The protest continues, with blockades affecting the port of Naples and roads between Casoria and Afragola.
