On 30 August 2017, UNICEF requested the support of emergency.lu for their operations in the Kasai region in DRC. Decades of armed conflict in the eastern part of the Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC), political unrest and insecurity have resulted in a complex humanitarian crisis.
One emergency.lu regular deployment kit has been deployed in the Tshikapa office providing connectivity to UNICEF, OCHA and FAO. The system was installed by trained UNICEF staff
From November 2012 until April 2015, one emergency.lu regular kit was deployed in Dadeldhura, Nepal. The system was providing internet connectivity to a WFP field office.
