Informed sources in the Aden Refinery said that Aden is suffering a severe shortage of diesel fuel as the quantity specialized for market supply has run out.

The source said the Refinery cannot provide stations with diesel fuel as it is currently lacking for crude materials being imported from some countries. It told NY the crisis started a week ago after the Refinery had to keep a part of diesel quantity for the General Electricity Corporation “to avoid any electricity lack in such hot season.”

The source said a quantity of diesel will arrive next two days to reduce the shortage of diesel that caused an increase in price of foodstuff and other oil derivatives.
