Reports of panic buying have surfaced in parts of Dubai following claims of Iranian attacks in the region, with unverified videos circulating on social media showing shoppers rushing to supermarkets and shelves appearing empty.
Some clips shared online appear to show essential items such as eggs, bread and other groceries selling out quickly as residents stock up amid fears of escalating tensions in the Middle East. However, the authenticity and timing of several of these videos have not been independently verified.
Despite the viral footage, supermarket operators and store managers have urged residents not to panic buy, stressing that supplies remain sufficient.
