In the face of this humanitarian disaster, on May 6th, the Emergency
Relief Coordinator endorsed the cluster approach for humanitarian
relief operations in Myanmar. The Logistics Cluster, headed by WFP in
its capacity as Logistics and Emergency Telecommunications Cluster
lead, was formally activated and a Special Operation SO 10751.0, (ref.
A) for a period of three months was created . The goal of the SO was
to ensure an uninterrupted supply chain of life saving relief items to the
affected areas by setting up and operating common logistics services,
and provide coordination and information management for the logistics
response.
