Pakistan's Energy Crisis Hits Home

Pakistan's Energy Crisis Hits Home

Just read about Pakistan's gas crisis impacting daily life, especially for women. People are planning their entire days around short gas windows just to cook basic meals. A 60-year-old woman says her whole morning revolves around gas, and younger women are missing simple comforts like evening tea. It's affecting sleep, work, and family time. The unpaid labor of managing this shortage is falling heavily on women, turning cooking into a stressful, timed chore. Really puts the human cost of an energy crisis into perspective. https://www.aljazeera.com/features/2026/5/12/whole-morning-revolves-around-gas-pakistans-fuel-crisis-enters-kitchens

This is heartbreaking. My aunt in Lahore is going through the same thing-it's not just cooking, it's the mental load of constantly planning.

So true. Missing my evening chai with the family because of a gas timer is a small thing that hurts more than you'd think.
