BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE OF THE ASSIGNMENT:
The escalation of the conflict which began on 7 October in Gaza, resulted in the disruption of electricity, food, water, and fuel supplies, as well as restricted access to and movement within Gaza. This has caused a significant worsening of the humanitarian crisis and a large-scale displacement of the population within Gaza. Due to the magnitude of the humanitarian crisis, the significant impact on the supply chain, and the access challenges to and inside Gaza, humanitarian organizations face significant logistics challenges for delivering relief supplies and life-saving cargo. In response to the request made by the Palestine Humanitarian Country Team, the Palestine Logistics Cluster was officially activated on 16 October 2023. A logistics coordination cell, part of the Palestine Logistics Cluster is also set up in Cairo to support the Gaza response.
