Kuwait's Emir Sheikh Sabah al-Ahmad al-Jaber al-Sabah said in a statement that the Kuwaiti Ministry of Oil will start supplying the Iraqi Ministry of Electricity with Gasoil fuel to operate the suspended generating units and support the operating units.

The statement said that "a Kuwaiti barge loaded with 30 thousand cubic meters of Gasoil fuel will arrive on Saturday to the ports of Basra ."

Iraqi cities are witnessing a surge in protests due to the deterioration of public services, especially a severe electricity crisis due to rising energy demand as temperatures rise, and few production plants operating in the country.
