Petrol reserves in Sri Lanka insufficient to meet needs of people
The World Food Programme said that the remaining petrol reserves in Sri Lanka are likely to be insufficient to meet the needs of people.
“Remaining petrol reserves will likely be insufficient to meet normal needs. The situation has impacted almost all aspects of daily life, thwarting people’s ability to find and go to work and interrupting schools and government services,” WFP said as quoted by Colombo Gazette.
Meanwhile, the Sri Lankan government has announced the restrictions for the next 12 months as it faces a severe fuel supply shortage.
As per the latest update, the WFP said that 6.3 million Sri Lankan people won’t be able to afford the next meal and the food situation is likely to deteriorate as the crisis unfolds.
