What happened

As the national LPG shortage worsens due to geopolitical tensions in the Strait of Hormuz, the Ministry of Petroleum has released a priority list for gas allocation. While households are being told to embrace raw food and eateries are shutting down, the government has magnanimously prioritized 'essential services' like hospitals and crematoriums. Citizens are advised that while life is currently a struggle for fuel, the afterlife remains a high-priority, gas-guzzling success.
