Mills Threaten to Close as of Today unless Diesel is Secured
Lebanon’s Mills Association threatened to stop operating as of today, Tuesday, unless diesel is provided to them.
The mills owners announced in a statement that "all mills might be forced to close due to the lack of diesel, which could lead to a flour crisis."
They added that "no positive results have been reached despite the efforts made by the association and by caretaker Minister of Economy Raoul Nehme to secure the mills’ diesel needs.”
The association urged the officials to act quickly "before it is too late,” adding that the mills are running out of diesel and “have not received the needed quantities in the past ten days, despite the promises that had been given to them."
