Shortage of fuel

Petrol stations in the Alicante province have a supply problem as a result of the carriers strike. Some have enough fuel for two days, others for  four hours or less.

The petrol stations in the province have tried to fill their tanks to the maximum. However, due to the panic buying, the tanks were emptied as quickly as they were filled. As a result, some petrol stations have put up closed signs.

There is the possibility of establishing a protocol to allow police escorts for trucks from depots to ensure supplies.

People are urged no to keep topping up because, even with normal deliveries, petrol supplies couldn't cope.
