Ethiopians have said they slept in their cars in hours-long queues for petrol as shortages caused by the US-Israel war on Iran began to take their toll, AFP reports.
Drivers waiting in an enormous queue at a petrol station in the Summit 72 area of the capital Addis Ababa said the wait was “more than a day”.
“I’ve been in the queue since last night at around 7:00 pm. I spent the night in my car without food,” said taxi driver Awoke Derese.
“I have already lost two days of business. I pay 2,000 birr ($13) per day in rental fees for the car. My family is at risk because I can’t support them,” he told AFP.
