The United Nations Agencies working in Beirut have established procedures to facilitate the safe delivery of humanitarian relief materials into and throughout Lebanon.
These procedures have been developed in consultation with the Government of Lebanon and with the support of UNTSO and UNSCO in Jerusalem who are in turn working together with the Government of Israel (IDF and the Ministry of Foreign Affairs) to ensure the establishment of humanitarian corridors for the delivery of these relief materials.
All UN Agencies planning to move humanitarian assistance to or through Lebanon must follow these procedures. NGOs are also welcomed to use these procedures.
General User procedure
In accordance with the Interagency Transport and Logistics Standard Operating Procedures,
UNJLC is responsible for the Supply Tracking and Prioritization of all
items that are not food in the UN-operated pipeline as part of the
humanitarian relief effort to Lebanon. UNJLC will carry out its
tasking using the UNJLC Joint Supply Tracker (JST), developed in
collaboration with staff from UNICEF seconded to the Logistics Cluster.
The objectives of Supply Tracking and Prioritization, enabled by information flow are two-fold:
- Once received by the Logistics Cluster/WFP at Consolidation and Loading Points (CLPs), JST will track goods/commodities up to Extended Delivery Point (EDP), and "close" of the pipeline upon delivery.
- Using the information flow produced through JST, UNJLC field-staff will prioritize transport of good/commodities in accordance with needs gathered by agencies.
The use of JST and its reporting functions will produce the following benefits to user organizations and donors alike:
- Timely delivery of user goods/commodities to the theatre of operations.
- Increased pipeline visibility and transparency.
- Production of mobilization, pipeline, and gaps reports.
The following TWO separate sets of information are central to the transport of cargo into Lebanon using the UN pipeline:
- Cargo Movement Request Information
- Must
be submitted using the Lebanon Logistics Cluster Cargo Movement Request (CMR) Form
- Must contain all requested information
- Must be delivered to the email address below no less than 72 hours before expected cargo shipment date.
