ITLS6007: Humanitarian Logistics
2025 unit information
Each year, more than 100 million people are affected by a humanitarian crisis such as flooding, hurricanes, earthquakes, wars or epidemics and this number is growing. Delivery of humanitarian aid is a logistics problem but humanitarian logistics is not the same as business or commercial logistics. The risks and challenges of humanitarian aid require a specialised strategy and approach and countries that develop these capabilities will be better able to respond to crises as they arise and better able to contribute to the global community wherever crises occur.
