Soldiers are delivering fuel in Britain as shortages persist
CNN
The army has begun making fuel deliveries in the United Kingdom in an effort to end days of shortages that have forced service stations to close and left motorists without petrol.
Tanker drivers from the military underwent training over the weekend to deliver fuel across the country starting on Monday. The UK government said in a statement on Friday that almost 100 tanker drivers will be deployed from this week to "further relieve pressure on petrol stations and address the shortage of HGV [Heavy Goods Vehicle] drivers."
The intervention is one of a series of emergency measures announced by the government to address the fuel crisis. It is also issuing temporary work visas for 5,000 foreign truck drivers and suspending competition law to allow suppliers to deliver fuel to rival operators. Over the weekend it extended the validity of 300 emergency visas for fuel drivers from December 24 to March 31. An additional 4,700 truck drivers will be able to stay until February 28.
