a difference in our communities around the world. By partnering with International Medical Corps, Agility will help ensure vital food supplies, basic necessities and medical aid reach disaster-stricken areas in a timely manner. We are excited to be working with International Medical Corps to not only provide humanitarian relief but also help the affected populations become self-reliant," says Tarek Sultan, Chairman and Managing Director of Agility.

The agreement details plans for Agility supply chain management experts to support International Medical Corps' operations in the field. During emergencies, Agility will also provide logistics personnel to aid in International Medical Corps' delivery and transportation of relief supplies, including warehouse storage and shipping. With operations in some of the world's most difficult environments, International Medical Corps often needs supplies delivered quickly to hard-to-access areas.

An international company with more than 550 offices in 100 countries around the world, Agility provides a global integrated logistics system through a network of warehousing facilities and transportation and freight services. As part of its social responsibility initiative, Agility created the Humanitarian and Emergency Logistics Program (HELP) to help governments and NGOs bring food, shelter, medicine, clothing, and other relief supplies where they are needed around the world.

About International Medical Corps: Since its inception 25 years ago, International Medical Corps' mission has been to relieve the suffering of those impacted by war, natural disaster and disease, by delivering vital health care services that focus on training. This approach of helping people help themselves is critical to returning devastated populations to self-reliance. For more information visit our website at www.imcworldwide.org
