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.
