We are already pleased with his release and he is now 100% safe,” confides Olivier Routeau, director of operations at Première Urgence Internationale, guest on RTL. “We were unable to have direct contact with him, only with the convoy leader. But we can confirm to his family that he is well and that is excellent news,” he continues.
“He is doing well physically. Obviously, he is tested by this sequence, but physically, he is in good health,” explains Olivier Routeau. “We were able to organize an office, secure it and find working conditions to organize the first emergency response operations in particular. René had joined our team and everything was brought together. The organization of this convoy was therefore done in a timely manner. calm.”
