Monthly Operation Overview - July 2015
The Logistics Cluster is responsible for providing logistics coordination, information management and, where there is a gap in logistics infrastructure, WFP, as lead-agency of the Logistics Cluster, acts as a ‘Provider of Last Resort’ by offering common logistics services to support the humanitarian community in their response operations.
Highlights of the Operation
In July, the Logistics Cluster airlifted 229 mt of humanitarian supplies on behalf of 19 organisations to 24 destinations.
The Logistics Cluster facilitated the airlift of 5 mt of ‘survival kits’ on behalf of the humanitarian community, to areas in the Unity state, cut off from aid due to insecurity.
Logistics Cluster air fleet currently consists of three Mi8 helicopters, a fixed-wing plane, and it is supported by adhoc rotations from a WFP-loaned Mi26 helicopter.
The loaded barge bound for Malakal has remained in Bor since the beginning of July. Its departure is pending access to the river being granted.
