Overseas Network, Oct. 2 (local time 2), the British government announced that in order to alleviate the fuel crisis around the country, the army will deliver gasoline to gas stations around the country from the 4th. Since the end of September, the fuel crisis caused by the "labor shortage" of British truck drivers has continued to intensify, affecting many areas.
According to the BBC on the 2nd, the British government said that about 200 soldiers will be involved in transporting gasoline, of which 100 will be drivers. In addition, 300 tanker drivers from overseas will arrive in the UK and work until March 2022.
There has been a shortage of fuel at thousands of gas stations in the UK since the end of September due to a shortage of truck drivers, who have flocked to long queues outside the stations to fill up their vehicles. Panic grabs are still taking place across the UK because of fuel problems, with people even fighting while waiting in line to refuel in north London.
