This multi-contributed title contains chapters from a wide range of academics and practitioners who have worked in these situations, and offers cutting edge research into how these complex problems can be solved.Now in its 4th edition, Humanitarian Logistics is fully updated and contains new chapters on the challenge of obtaining scarce resources in the aftermath of a disaster, sustainability in a HL context, the logistics of the COVID-19 vaccine, the challenges of procurement in HL, a study of the humanitarian service performance system, cash-based HL systems and the interaction of blockchain and HL.
