NNA – Member of the Syndicate of Gas Station Owners, George al-Brax, told the National News Agency today that “the gasoline crisis is further exacerbated, because the stock in the stations is sold to citizens and the stock in the companies is delivered to the stations, but the ships at sea cannot unload their cargo since the Central Bank has not provided the necessary credits yet.”
Brax warned that “the stock will soon run out, and in the coming days we will witness the closure of many stations, and therefore we will witness more queues in front of the few statons that will remain open.”
He added: “Yesterday, there were 55 million liters of gasoline, which is not enough stock to last for more than the middle of next week,” noting that “if the ships are not unloaded, the country will be paralyzed due to running out of gasoline.”
