1616 GMT: Egypt. The Ministry of Finance has said that funds allocated for diesel fuel subsidies have run out for the current year.
An official source within the ministry has said that meetings are being held with Ministry of Petroleum officials to solve the crisis.

The government's subsidies for diesel fuel are currently estimated at LE50 billion (about $7.43 billion).
