Missions

Télécoms Sans Frontières deployed to Morocco following the magnitude 6.8 earthquake on September 8, 2023, to reach the worst-hit areas where networks are down, and set up telecoms centers to support relief efforts and meet the needs of those affected.

Heavy rains at the end of 2007 caused severe floods that affected several communities in northern and eastern Bolivia. In addition to the 48 fatalities and 5 missing, more than 40,000 families were affected and depended on humanitarian aid. OCHA requested that TSF provide IT and telecom support to UNDAC teams assessing the needs of survivors. Two coordination centres were also connected by TSF in La Paz and Santa Cruz.

Following the earthquake that rocked the Mediterranean coast of Morocco on the night of 23rd February 2004, Télécoms Sans Frontières was on the ground the following day to provide rescue organisations with equipment and telecom technicians.

On 21st July 2002, an affluent of the river Apure that flows through the southern Venezuelan region of the same name burst its banks and flooded the entire town of Guasdualito and the surrounding area. The equivalent of a whole year’s worth of rain had poured down in just a few days. The Venezuelan government declares a state of emergency in the state of Apure: TSF supports national response mechanism.
