Northern Iraq Fuel Shortage

© Licensed to London News Pictures. 26/06/2014. Sulaimaniyah, Iraq. A sign apologising to drivers for a lack of petrol (literal translation: Excuse me the petrol is finished) is seen blocking the entrance to a fuel station in Sulaimaniyah, Iraqi-Kurdistan. Despite being an oil-rich country Iraq's main oil refinery at Baiji is now the hands of ISIS insurgents cutting much of the fuel to the rest of the country. Petrol rationing has come in to force across northern Iraq with huge queues that mean many drivers wait in line for hours, sometimes overnight, just to receive their allowance of 30 litres. The shortage has also seen a huge increase in fuel prices with a litre of petrol rising 150% from 500 Iraqi Dinars to 1500 Iraqi Dinars. Photo credit: Matt Cetti-Roberts/LNP
