According to a study reported by Euronews, rising energy and fuel bills are severely impacting people across Europe. To offset these soaring prices, some individuals are resorting to extreme measures, which include giving up on essential medical care.

The financial pressure is also causing residents to skip family visits in order to cover their basic household utility and transportation expenses.

However, the findings highlight that not all Europeans are affected equally by the ongoing energy and fuel cost crisis.
