3.6 Logistics
Summary
South Sudan poses complex humanitarian challenges due to its poor infrastructure, seasonal hazards, ongoing insecurity, demographic constraints, and limited aviation services. Inadequate and poor road networks create a significant logistical hurdle for affected populations seeking life-saving assistance and humanitarian organizations delivering assistance. The aviation sector remains under developed, with insufficient investment in infrastructure and capacity and a history of poor safety records among commercial carriers. Humanitarian needs are widespread across the country, and access barriers lead to delays in delivering essential relief supplies to hard-to-reach areas, resulting in increased costs.
