TSF provides free internet for humanitarian community & migrants in Macedonia & Serbia

Fleeing instabilities in their home countries, thousands of migrants from the Middle-East and Africa are taking dangerous and sometimes fatal routes to seek asylum in Europe.

In order to respond to this worsening context, Télécoms Sans Frontières (TSF) has established its intervention strategy at the heart of the migrant route at two of the most frequented registration points, Preševo, Serbia and Gevgelija, Macedonia, both of which are compulsory stops along the journey.

Government and United Nations bodies managing these areas are often faced with bottlenecks of people waiting for registration. TSF positioned itself in Preševo and Gevgelija in order to respond to the requirements through the provision of satellite communications means in order to streamline the humanitarian response for both the humanitarian community and refugees in transit.
