Zahle road was cut off to Beirut at the Zahle Saadnayel roundabout in the Qib Elias Jadita junction and in the capital Beirut most internal roads are now closed with tires and protesters and cars were prevented from crossing most of these roads, which created confusion and tension between citizens and protesters.

The owners of the mills said in a statement that the stock is not enough for the country need for more than 18 days after the owners of plants and companies importing oil confirmed yesterday the existence of warnings about oil derivatives, while the majority of stations began to adopt rationing in the distribution of hydrocarbons in order to maintain the sustainability of its work and provide oil for a longer period.

Yesterday, a number of petrol stations were closed in Denniyeh due to the depletion of existing quantities of fuel and the failure of delivery of new quantities by distributing companies due to blocking roads and the inability of tanks to reach areas.
