Summary
WFP-managed United Nations Humanitarian Air Services (UNHAS) played a crucial role in enabling humanitarian response in Sudan, Ethiopia, Somalia, Kenya and South Sudan. UNHAS provided timely, reliable, cost-effective air transport service to 375 humanitarian partners. This was particularly critical in fragile contexts where access was limited due to conflict or climatic disasters, and no suitable commercial aviation options were available.
