Cyclone Idai
Following Cyclone Idai, emergency.lu deployed five satellite systems in Mozambique, restoring connectivity for over 1,600 responders, enabling coordination, data sharing, and relief operations across severely affected regions, including Beira and Buzi.
Batangafo Connectivity
The Emergency Telecommunications Cluster (ETC) was activated in December 2013 in response to the escalating crisis. The recent escalation of violence in CAR in late 2018 has brought the country towards the brink of a new, large-scale humanitarian crisis, increasing the protection risks in multiple new hotspots across the country.
Baga Sola Connectivity
Over 226,559 Nigerians had been forced to flee their home country by the end of July 2018, seeking refuge in Chad, Cameroon and Niger. Chad currently hosts more than 10,300 Nigerian refugees. Building on the shared accomplishment of the Diffa connectivity project, UNHCR requested emergency.lu support for its operations in Baga-Sola.
