Technical Specifications and Requirements for Jerry Can - Lebanon | ReliefWeb

Lebanon

JERRYCAN, SEMI-COLLAPSIBLE, 10L, RECYCLED

Providing material assistance to forcefully displaced populations is fundamental to UNHCR’s protection mandate. In an emergency, jerrycans are one of the main essential items that UNHCR distributes as part of the assistance to the affected populations. The food-grade jerrycan is primarily used in emergencies if the household water storage options are lost or destroyed; water supplies are intermittent, and increased storage is required. The provision of jerrycans is a life-saving measure in many situations. UNHCR procures an average of 400 000 jerrycans annually
