Abstract: Abstract Humanitarian supply chains (HSCs) face major challenges in critical operations, including disaster relief, conflict support, and rapid response. This research, based on a literature review, develops a system dynamics (SD) framework to improve understanding of HSC resilience (HSCRES). By examining stakeholder interactions and trade-offs, this paper aims to offer practical insights to strengthen the resilience of HSCs. Specifically, enhancing IT capabilities through technologies such as blockchain, IoT, and cloud computing can improve transparency, coordination, and decision-making, thereby fostering agility and long-term resilience in HSCs.
