A fuel shortage in Iraq’s Kurdish region is causing long delays for drivers trying to buy gasoline. Multiple reports describe people in Erbil spending hours waiting in line, with some waiting overnight to obtain fuel. The shortage is linked to disruptions attributed to the region’s ongoing war-related conditions, which have reduced fuel availability and driven up pressure at distribution points. The situation leaves motorists with limited options, as queues form during the hours leading up to and through the night. Drivers’ ability to purchase fuel depends on when supplies arrive and how quickly they are distributed, leading to uncertainty for those already waiting. The reports focus on the immediate impacts on daily life, including extended travel times and waiting periods, rather than on specific policy measures. Overall, sources agree the crisis is actively affecting access to gasoline in the Kurdish region, with Erbil particularly affected by prolonged lines.
