Highlights

• On 21 June, the ETC connected IOM’s office to its data connectivity network in Port Sudan.
Satellite internet services are being provided to humanitarians from 17 UN agencies and seven I/NGOs across nine sites in the city.

• Satellite connectivity equipment has been installed in Kassala and Wad Madani in preparation for the expansion of the ETC network, however the cluster will not be able to deliver services to meet the demands of humanitarian operations unless funding is received.

• The ETC urgently requires USD 6.3 million to continue to provide communications services to the humanitarian community in Sudan.
