Prolonged Field Care Podcast 124: Logistics in Ukraine

Dennis speaks with a logistics expert, who has experience working in Ukraine with an NGO during the conflict. The conversation centers around the logistical challenges faced by refugees and the aid organizations that work to support them. The number of refugees in Ukraine fluctuates, and the population is highly mobile, which presents challenges for aid workers trying to provide services such as shelter, bedding, and medical care. The supply chain for aid is not streamlined and is often self-defeating due to duplication of effort and shortages of necessary items. Logistics are further complicated by the lack of fresh water and infrastructure in certain areas of the country. The conversation highlights the importance of efficient distribution of aid and communication between aid organizations to ensure that the needs of refugees are met.
