------
The Soviet Union blocked the Western Allies' railway, road, and canal access to the sectors of Berlin under Western control. 

In response, the Western Allies organized the Berlin airlift to carry supplies to the people of West Berlin. 

Aircrews from the United States Air Force, the British Royal Air Force, the French Air Force, the Royal Canadian Air Force, the Royal Australian Air Force, the Royal New Zealand Air Force, and the South African Air Force flew over 200,000 flights in one year, providing to the West Berliners up to 8,893 tons of supplies each day.
