Vietnam’s gig workers slammed by rising fuel costs amid fallout of Iran war

In Ho Chi Minh City, e-hailing drivers like Nguyen report that fuel costs are eating into their earnings. Due to Iran's blockade of the Strait of Hormuz, Vietnam, which relies on 80% of its oil from Kuwait, is facing rising diesel and petrol prices. Diesel prices have more than doubled, and petrol prices have increased by nearly 30%, making life difficult for gig economy workers.
