How does UNHCR deliver emergency supplies?
UNHCR's Budapest-based Supply Management Service has been responding to the emergency in Ukraine and in other neighbouring countries through a regional network of 20 warehouses — including two UNHCR warehouses in Poland, located in Grabica (Central Poland) and Rzeszow (in the vicinity of the Ukrainian border) — and UNHCR supply staff, together with a sound network of global stockpiles and suppliers. UNHCR has deployed supply staff to Poland, including experts in procurement and logistics, and a Senior Supply Coordinator to manage UNHCR Supply Emergency Response for the whole crisis.
Thanks to the generous support of donors, replenishments for the global stockpiles continue to ensure that UNHCR can support the Government of Poland in its response and preparedness needs for the Ukraine refugee situation, as well as other emergencies around the globe.
UNHCR has successfully established a new trucking route from Pakistan to the regional network of warehouses, including Poland. This provides an additional solution to deliver life-saving items directly from the suppliers to the different countries, as well as to ease the pressure stemming from costly airlifts and slower sea freight.
