Nepali consumers wait in line carrying empty LPG cylinders as they rush to gas depots to refill them as growing tensions in West Asia halt the supply in Kathmandu, Nepal, on March 12, 2026.

The disruption follows the escalating conflict involving the United States, Israel, and Iran, which heightens tensions across the Gulf region.

The impact is now felt in markets around the world.
