West Bank fuel shortages hindered
The article addresses the fuel shortage crisis in the West Bank, where long queues at fuel stations are repeatedly seen, and black market sales are spreading at high prices. Officials believe the main reason is a state of public panic that has led to fuel hoarding and full fuel requests from citizens, despite the availability of supplies. Experts and analysts attribute the primary responsibility to the Israeli occupation, especially due to restrictions imposed on fuel transportation, cash hoarding, and the banks' inability to pay for fuel imports. The crisis has caused many vehicles to cease operations and has doubled costs for drivers and the productive sector, with black market prices increasing by between 43% and 71%. The government is implementing temporary solutions, including improving transportation processes and organizing supply operations to ensure market stability, with an expected phase of improvement beginning early next week.
