Humanitarian aid distribution logistics with accessibility constraints: a systematic literature review

Purpose The purpose of this paper is to review the relevant literature in order identify trends and suggest some possible directions for future research framework humanitarian aid distribution logistics with accessibility constraints. Design/methodology/approach authors developed a systematic study state art on considering electronic databases used were Web science, Scopus, Science Direct, Jstor, Emerald, EBSCO, Scielo Redalyc. As result, 49 articles reviewed detail. Findings This identified gaps, as well opportunities. main conclusions are need further studies interrelationships hierarchies multiple actors, explore intermodality, transshipment options redistribution relief goods avoid severe shortages nodes excess inventory others, vulnerability transport networks, correlational analysis road failures other lines. Research limitations/implications bibliography limited peer-reviewed academic journals due their relevance, ease searching. Most included conducted high-income countries, which may limit generalizability results low-income countries. However, focused covering important logistics. Originality/value contextualises synthesises into constrains, highlights key themes suggests areas research.
