Live from NPR News in Washington, I'm Rylan Barton. The World Food Program says tons of food aid are stuck in ports because of the war in Iran. NPR's Aibatraoui reports.

The World Food Program says there is a whole disruption in the global supply chain with carriers not able to use the Strait of Hermuz and choosing not to use the Suez Canal through Egypt out of concerns of attacks on the

Red Sea too. The agency says this is adding a month to shipping time and costing more because

of spikes in fuel prices from the war. The World Food Program says as people around the world

pay more for fuel, more families will no longer be able to put food on the table. The agency says

some 45 million additional people will fall into

acute hunger around the world if current conditions continue through June, reaching 363 million

globally. Ayapultrawi, NPR News, Dubai. Top European leaders are visiting Ukraine to mark the

anniversary of atrocities committed by Russia in a town near Kiev four years ago. More than 400 civilians

were killed during the destruction at Boucha. People were shot at point-blank range and left to rot.

Many were tortured and a mass grave was found. U.S. led efforts to end the war are on hold as

Washington's attention is focused on Iran. The national average price for a gallon of regular gas is now over

$4 a gallon. NPR's Kamila Dominovsky reports gasoline prices have not yet hit their peaks from

2022 when Russia invaded Ukraine. Last year, gasoline prices were remarkably stable, a straight line,

more or less. For most of this month, they've also been a straight line,

almost straight up. Prices vary around the country, most expensive on the West Coast and least

expensive in the middle of the continent, but they're rising everywhere. Crude oil is driving

prices up as the war in Iran disrupts global oil trade, a switch to summer gasoline and the typical

seasonal rise in demand aren't helping.

The average cost of public charging electric vehicles is 41 cents a kilowatt hour.

AAA reports up slightly two cents from a month ago.
