Life-saving logistics
Doctors Without Borders (MSF) provides global medical emergency aid in areas affected by war and crises, after natural disasters, and during humanitarian catastrophes. Everywhere in the world. Fast. Direct.
A functioning supply chain is essential to ensure that medicines, medical equipment, and drinking water reach people who are in urgent need of help.
AEB supports in this. With a system. With a donation. And with you?
The AEB annual campaign at a glance
AEB donates €15,000 for emergency aid
Almost 3,000 cubic meters of relief supplies have been handled by MSF's AEB TMS since it went live in July. 3,000 x 5 euros for life-saving emergency aid.
"We transport hope"
In the latest edition of AEB's podcast, Jan Kanzleiter, Logistics Project Manager at MSF, explains how modern logistics helps save lives worldwide.
Join in and donate: 231 x 10 euros of hope
231 shipments in the TMS. We are looking for 231 donors who will give 10 euros each – together we will achieve 2,310 euros in emergency aid that will have an immediate impact.
A look behind the scenes of logistics at Doctors Without Borders
In the podcast, we talk to Jan Kanzleiter, Operational Centre Amsterdam (MSF), about his work, global logistics in a state of emergency, and how technology can actually help save lives.

- Logistics in crisis areas – and how MSF masters them
- Why digitalization is also essential for humanitarian aid
- Reorganized: Digital transport management at MSF
- Why every donation counts
Jan Kanzleiter
Every tonne counts. Every euro helps. AEB is starting off.
AEB donates 5 euros per cubic meter of freight shipped via our TMS this year. This results in approximately 15,000 euros in Christmas support.
And we can achieve even more – together with you.
The idea: Each shipment transported is "matched" by a person from the community.
For each shipment in the TMS, we are looking for 10 euros. This brings our total donations to another 2,310 euros.
Will you join in?
Your contribution helps ...
- fund emergency medical care
- provide obstetric and pediatric treatment
- ensure access to clean drinking water
- giving hope to people in regions of crises
A small amount making a big impact. Three examples:
Enabling surgeries
In Gaza, teams carry out life-saving surgeries – sometimes under the most difficult conditions.
Wide range of help for families
From obstetrics and neonatal care to psychosocial care in Cox's Bazar in Bangladesh.
Innovative approaches against diseases
In Honduras, special mosquitoes are used to stop dengue – with success.
Technology that helps make a difference
Because logistics in emergency aid has no hours or days – it's every minute that counts.
MSF delivers medical supplies into countries where roads are destroyed, borders are closed, infrastructures are down, or where extreme urgency prevails.
AEB's Transport Management System helps to make supply chains reliable and transparent – both inbound and outbound.
Advantages of a TMS in humanitarian aid
- Faster response times
- Better transparency
- Greater resilience to risks
- More reliable documentation
- Digital processes instead of manual dependencies
