LONDON—Britain will deploy almost 200 military tanker personnel, 100 of which are drivers, from Monday to assist with fuel deliveries to gas stations and help address a shortage of heavy goods vehicle (HGV) drivers, the government said on Friday.
Many British gas stations were still dry on Friday after a chaotic week that has seen panic-buying, fights at the pumps, and drivers hoarding fuel in water bottles after the acute shortage of truckers strained supply chains to breaking point.
