Peru: An effort to reconnect communication

Technicians and engineers from Telecoms Sans Frontieres have arrived in Peru to help the earthquake recovery effort.

The five-strong team will deploy satellite telephone and internet access in three centres - at Pisco, where the quake hit hardest, Ica and Chincha.

Julie Cazenave, who is leading the team, said: "There is a lot of confusion right now because there is little information from the areas hit."

The priority will be to establish telecoms at the airport in Pisco.
