Gas Station Lines Are Long Due To The Labor Shortage

Long lines at petrol stations can be found all around the country due to a labour shortage. According to sources, the decrease of up to 50% of staff at petrol station outlets forced certain pumps to lower the number of pumps running in their stations, resulting in long lines at gas stations.

According to Abdul-Hussain Al-Sultan, Chairman of the Board of Directors of the "Ola" Fuel Marketing Company, they have been unable to recruit workers from outside Kuwait since the Corona crisis, and have been forced to rely on local labour. Local labourers, on the other hand, are not qualified or trained to work in this field. According to insiders, gas stations are looking for alternatives to the long lines, such as boosting self-service pumps.
