Abstract:
Humanitarian logistics (HL) is crucial for efficient disaster management, facilitating the swift allocation of vital resources to alleviate the effects of crises. This systematic review examines 40 papers (2015-2023) on HL, emphasising significant trends, innovations, and problems in crisis response. It analyses decision-making frameworks, inventory prepositioning, equitable resource allocation, transportation reliability, and the application of modern technology such as artificial intelligence and optimisation algorithms. The assessment emphasises the significance of collaborative methods, including public-private partnerships, and the impact of training programs on improving operational preparedness. Moreover, it assesses case studies to extract essential lessons from both successful and unsuccessful HL operations, providing insights into optimal practices and opportunities for enhancement. The results underscore the necessity for flexible, technology-oriented, and equitable strategies to tackle the growing intricacies of disaster logistics, offering practical recommendations for practitioners, policymakers, and researchers
