'Whole morning revolves around gas': Pakistan's fuel crisis enters ...
Karachi, Pakistan – Farhat Qureshi had been cooking most of her life without watching the clock. Now, at 60, her mornings begin with one question: how much can she finish before the gas in her kitchen disappears once again?The cooking gas at her Karachi home comes in short windows in the morning, afternoon and evening. If she misses a window, the cooking is delayed, food is reheated, plans are changed, and the kitchen waits.Recommended Stories list of 4 itemslist 1 of 4Global energy crisis highlights meagre oil buffers in developing worldlist 2 of 4Soaring fuel prices in Pakistan threaten economic and political criseslist 3 of 4Two wins, two losses: What India, Pakistan have learned a year after warlist 4 of 4‘A calamity’: Why is a record heatwave sweeping South Asia?end of list“I don’t think I have ever seen this happening in my whole life,” Qureshi told Al Jazeera. “My whole morning revolves around gas.”Pakistan’s energy crisis has intensified since the United States and Israel attacked Iran on February 28, turning a recent surplus of liquefied natural gas (LNG) into a looming shortage. Pakistan’s LNG imports had already fallen from 8.2 million tonnes in 2021 to 6.1 million tonnes by late 2025.The US-Israel war on Iran put further pressure on a system already strained by years of declining domestic production. Pakistan meets most of its daily gas needs from domestic gasfields, which have been in slow decline for years. Imported LNG, supplied mainly under long-term contracts, fills part of that gap when shipments flow normally. Almost all of Pakistan’s LNG comes from Qatar and the United Arab Emirates, and imported LNG powers roughly a quarter of the country’s electricity.With the onset of the war, LNG shipments dropped drastically. Monthly cargo data from Pakistan’s Oil and Gas Regulatory Authority (OGRA) shows that the country received between eight and 12 LNG shipments a month in 2025 and early 2026. In March, only two shipments arrived. Over the weekend, however, a Qatari LNG tanker crossed the Strait of Hormuz on its way to Pakistan – the first such transit since the start of the war.Pakistani households are experiencing the energy crisis differently: through the unpaid labour of women who wake up earlier, cook more quickly, rearrange meals, delay rest, and plan their entire days around the prospect of getting gas in their stoves.The timetable has altered the manner in which Qureshi navigates her house – or life.

Fuel crisis fuels food crisis - thenews.pk
The News. — The continuous rise in fuel prices in Pakistan is contributing significantly to the growing food crisis. Higher fuel costs increase the cost of transportation, farming and food production, which directly affects the prices of essential food items such as wheat, vegetables, milk and other daily necessities. Low-income and middle-class families are facing the greatest difficulties because many can no longer afford healthy and nutritious meals. As food prices continue to rise, some families are forced to reduce their daily food intake or depend on cheaper and lower quality products. The government must implement effective policies to control fuel prices and ensure that affordable food is available to all citizens.Radha BaiKarachi
