Kenya & Iran

Kenya: Kenya is experiencing significant impacts from the energy crisis, with citizens like Brenda Obare reverting to charcoal due to high LPG costs. Its tourism sector, which contributes 14% of its GDP, is also at risk.

Iran: Iran is a central party in the conflict, facing a naval blockade and economic sanctions from the United States. Its actions, including restricting the Strait of Hormuz, have caused major disruptions to global oil and gas supplies and its economy is being destroyed by the blockade.

Kenya: Kenya hosts one of the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees' global stockpiles, and fuel price increases in Kenya have caused delays and reduced truck availability for shipments to other African nations.

Iran: Iran is at war with the United States and Israel, leading to the closure of the Strait of Hormuz, a blockade on its ports, and significant disruption to global oil and commodity flows. There is hope for renewed talks to settle the conflict.

Kenya: In Kenya, fuel prices have risen by 15%, affecting overland transport for aid to other African nations.

Iran: The Iran war is causing disruptions in global supply chains, particularly affecting the Strait of Hormuz and Bab el-Mandeb Strait, leading to increased fuel and fertilizer costs for Sudan.
