Lebanese drivers queue for hours as fuel crisis worsens

BEIRUT: Motorists queued for hours at gas stations across Lebanon on Tuesday as fears of an imminent end to the country’s subsidy on fuel increased demand for a commodity already in short supply.
Payment delays are also keeping urgent oil stocks on offshore tankers, meaning that many gas stations are facing critical supply shortages.
Queues extended into streets as drivers waited to fill their cars. Some stations rationed the amount of fuel sold to customers, mostly taxi drivers. Other stores closed down entirely.
However, Fadi Abu Shakra, representative of the union for fuel distributors and gas stations in Lebanon, said that the confusion and fear surrounding gas supply was “unjustified.” ....

Lebanese taxi drivers bicker over price hike as commuters struggle with an additional burden

As Fadi stood under a bridge on a busy roundabout near Beirut’s Justice Palace, several taxis stopped to offer their services. One asked for £5,000 instead of £4,000, arguing that his destination was far away and passengers few.
Fadi refused. Sitting nearby, a young man nodded approval. “Drivers who want £5,000 are crooks,” he said.
Demanding a higher price than that decided by the ministry is technically illegal. But drivers asking for £5,000, a 66 per cent rise, say they are following the decision of one of the country’s taxi unions.
Here lies the problem. Four confederations represent the country’s 37,808 registered taxi drivers. One is excluded from the decision-making process because of a long-standing feud. As a result, its decisions are different than those agreed between the Ministry of Public Works and other unions. ....

Experts call for long-term solutions amid nationwide protests over subsidy cuts in Lebanon – Famagusta Gazette

The Lebanese central bank started implementing its decision by removing the subsidy on flour on Tuesday.
The move has been met with protests among citizens who are suffering from a sharp hike in prices of goods given the shortage in U.S. dollar currency used to import products.
On Tuesday, UN officials expressed fear that the subsidy cuts will cause havoc in the country if no alternative plan such as creating a safety net is made before the removal of the subsidy.
This has prompted Lebanese authorities to convene on Tuesday to try and come up with a new scheme to rationalize subsidies in a way that would have the least impact on citizens. ....
