aid convoy
Humanitarian supply train
An aid convoy is a group of vehicles traveling together to deliver humanitarian supplies—food, medicine, shelter materials—to people in crisis zones.
The convoy format provides safety in numbers and logistical efficiency when moving through dangerous or unstable territory: The aid convoy crossed the border under UN protection.
Aid convoys often appear in news coverage of wars, famines, and natural disasters.
