Project Overview
In response to the Ebola Virus Disease (EVD) outbreak, the World Food Programme (WFP) established its United Nations Humanitarian Air Service (UNHAS) to support the humanitarian response to the worst affected countries in West Africa. The UNHAS operation is part of WFP’s global logistics response under Special Operation 200773, which has been established to augment capacity of humanitarian efforts under the United Nations Mission for Ebola Emergency Response (UNMEER) umbrella. UNHAS coordinates closely with UNMEER and UNMIL to optimize the use of resources and ensure higher operational efficiency, e.g. a joint flight schedule is published regularly and maintained with necessary flexibility.
