UN Humanitarian Response Depot

The United Nations Humanitarian Response Depot (UNHRD)  is a global network of hubs that procures, stores and rapidly transports emergency supplies for the humanitarian community. Managed by the World Food Programme (WFP), UNHRD enables humanitarian actors to pre-position and stockpile relief items and support equipment for swift delivery in emergency situations.

The network manages strategic stocks such as medical kits, shelter gear, ready-to-use foods, logistics equipment and more – on behalf of a growing number of organizations, both inside and outside the UN system. Hubs strategically located around the globe, in Italy (Brindisi), Ghana (Accra), Malaysia (Kuala Lumpur), Panama (Panama City) and the United Arab Emirates (Dubai). These locations have been chosen for their transport connections and proximity to disaster-prone areas.
