Fuel shortages bring long queues to Myanmar’s capital

Motorists in Myanmar’s capital are facing long waits at petrol stations as the military junta enforces strict fuel quotas amid growing shortages.

Under the new limits, motorcycles are allowed just eight litres of fuel per week, while private vehicles can obtain 35 to 45 litres depending on engine size. The restrictions have forced residents to queue for hours, disrupting daily routines.

Queues of cars and motorcycles snake outside stations across Naypyidaw, highlighting the growing frustration of citizens trying to carry on with daily life in the face of fuel scarcity.
