Over 6,800 truckloads have been dispatched from Kathmandu and the district hubs. Between 15 July and 15 August, 5,329 mt of cargo were handled for 53 organisations. Prioritisation for cargo transport is taking place under the list of priorities established by the Humanitarian Country Team (HCT). A total of 9,640 m3 of storage capacity is currently available for humanitarian partners across nine logistics hubs strategically established across the country.
