He added that "according to international standards, it is not possible to store fuel in the camps for more than 50 liters in order to avoid cases of fires that may occur, and with the decrease in weather conditions, families began to exhaust what remained of their fuel, so an additional quota was added and three days ago they began sending materials in coordination with the Ministry of Oil through storage inside warehouses .  

He pointed out that "the ministry has fixed teams in the region to provide relief to the displaced, noting that" the delay that occurred is the closure of some roads in the region," explaining that "the ministry has secured fuel for the non-displaced families living on the outskirts of Mount Sinjar as a humanitarian file because the residents of those areas are not IDPs, but they live in villages, but the ministry dealt with this file from a humanitarian standpoint
