NATO - North Atlantic Treaty Organisation
15 May. 2020
UN OCHA issued a global call related to the ongoing global response to the COVID-19 pandemic, requesting that appropriate military and civil defence assets be made available for the transport of urgently needed humanitarian and medical items.
NATO's Euro-Atlantic Disaster Response Coordination Centre (EADRCC) responded to UN OCHA on Friday 15 May, indicating the Alliance's decision to support the request. The Alliance's assistance will be determined based on close coordination between UN OCHA, the Euro-Atlantic Disaster Response Coordination Centre (EADRCC) and the Supreme Headquarters of the Allied Powers in Europe (SHAPE), as well as on availability of airlift assets from NATO Allies and partners.
