People wait in a fuel station to buy kerosene oil for cooking in Colombo, Sri Lanka, Wednesday, May 18, 2022. Sri Lanka is near bankruptcy having announced that it is suspending upto $ 7 billion foreign loans due to be repaid this year because of a foreign currency crisis. It has led to limited imports with no gasoline in filling stations. Other fuel, cooking gas, medicine and foods are in short supply forcing people to stay in long lines to buy the limited stocks.
