Operations Manager Atlas Logistique - Gaza

Operations Manager

The ceasefire has facilitated a significant increase in humanitarian aid shipments into the Gaza Strip, averaging approximately 600 trucks per day and totaling around 4,200 trucks over the first week. While entry restrictions for trucks have been eased, challenges in cargo distribution persist and require urgent attention.

Ensuring safe and stable supply and delivery pipelines for humanitarian aid remains the highest priority. To support this, Atlas Logistique is adapting its logistics platform services in Gaza, to align with the scaling efforts of the humanitarian community and reinforce the local logistics environment:

• Develop existing AL storage capacities and services in the Middle Area (Central Gaza) and in North Gaza (Gaza City) and continue responding to humanitarian storage needs with the three operational maintenances of AL's existing warehouse and the assessment of potential new storage capacity.

• Continue to provide logistics support to as many humanitarian actors as possible that are implementing projects in Gaza.

• Integrate a temperature-controlled structure sensitive humanitarian inputs to the existing platform to enhance the capacity of humanitarian stakeholders to deliver fast and efficient aid to conflict-affected populations inside Gaza Strip with 15-25°C storage platform for storing medical products that require specific storage conditions.

• Develop existing transport services including in hard-to-reach areas, continue to develop partnerships with humanitarian actors and continuously assess the transport-related needs.
