The government has formed a committee comprised of members
from the ministries of supply, planning, and Petroleum to put guidelines and
controls on the distribution of liquefied petroleum gas (LPG) cylinders on
ration cards, similar to the system of bread distribution on the cards.
A share of LPG will be allocated to every citizen on the
card, with LPG cards to be issued to those who have no ration cards.
The system will soon be applied in Port Said as an initial
phase, before generalizing it in the rest of the governorates. It will
eliminate LPG shortages that occur at the beginning of each winter and prevent
the sale of the cylinders in the black market.
Egypt has witnessed a fuel crisis since the start of this year,
which led to a rise in the black market prices of LPG cylinders, which are used
as fuel in Egyptian houses.
