[Satellite TODAY 06-12-13] Astrium has just renewed a partnership contract with Télécoms Sans Frontières (TSF) to continue satellite communications support for disaster and emergency relief missions across the world.
TSF provides people in distress and first responders with means of communication where terrestrial communications fails. As a first responder on site, TSF supports local relief efforts and humanitarian organizations to organize and coordinate the help locally and has helped thousands of victims trace and reconnect with their families.
In 2012 TSF also set up logistical telecom support to facilitate the repatriation of wounded civilians from conflict areas, and the supply of medicines to besieged towns in Syria. The onsite team ensured the distribution of communication means for several medical facilities and provided training to help medical staff.
