UNOSAT code: TC20240313MOZ, GDACS ID: 1001053 This map illustrates satellite detected surface waters in Maputo province, Mozambique, as observed from a Sentinel-1 images acquired on 27 March 2024 at 18:23 local time (16:23 UTC). Within the analyzed areas of about 2,000 km², a total of about 45 km² of lands appear to be flooded. This is a preliminary analysis and has not yet been validated in the field. Please send ground feedback to the United Nations Satellite Centre (UNOSAT). Important note: Flood analysis from radar images may underestimate the presence of standing waters in built-up areas and densely vegetated areas due to backscattering properties of the radar signal.

UNOSAT code: CE20231007PSE This map illustrates a satellite-imagery based comprehensive assessment of damage and destruction to structures within the area of interest in the Gaza Strip, Occupied Palestinian Territory, based on images collected on 29 February 2024 when compared to images collected on 1 May 2023, 10 May 2023, 18 September 2023, 15 October 2023, 7 November 2023, 26 November 2023, and 6-7 January 2024. According to satellite imagery analysis, UNOSAT identified 31,198 destroyed structures, 16,908 severely damaged structures and 40,762 moderately damaged structures, for a total of 88,868 structures. These correspond to around 35% of the total structures in the Gaza Strip and a total of 121,400 estimated damaged housing units. The governorates of Khan Yunis and Gaza have experienced the highest rise in damage, with 12,279 new structures damaged in Khan Yunis and 2,010 in Gaza. Khan Yunis City had the highest number of newly destroyed structures, with 6,663 in total. This is a preliminary analysis and has not yet been validated in the field.

UNOSAT code: FR20240222GNQ This map illustrates the burned areas as observed from Sentinel-2 images acquired on the 3rd and 18th of February 2024, over the Pico Basil Volcano on Bioko Island, Equatorial Guinea. Approximately 3 km2 of vegetation appeared to have burned around the Pico Basil Volcano as of February 3rd, 2024, increasing to about 6 km2 by 18th of February 2024. UNOSAT has identified 16 potentially affected structures and potentially affected roads approximately 2 kilometers. This is a preliminary analysis and has not yet been validated in the field. Please send ground feedback to the United Nations Satellite Centre (UNOSAT).

UNOSAT code: FL20240102COG This map illustrates satellite-detected surface waters and landslides/mudflow extent in the Brazzaville Department, Republic of Congo, as observed from a WorldView-2 image acquired on 8 February 2024, at 10:31 local time. Within the analyzed area of 30,000 hectares, approximately 190 hectares of landslide scars/ mudflow extent are observed, and about 400 hectares of land appear to be flooded. Based on Worldpop population data, the detected surface waters and the extent of landslides/mudflows indicate that about 30,000 people are potentially exposed or living close to landslide and flooded areas. UNOSAT identified a total of 458 structures potentially affected by landslide and flood, along with 19 affected road. This is a preliminary analysis and has not yet been validated in the field. Please provide ground feedback to the United Nations Satellite Centre (UNOSAT).

UNOSAT code: CE20231007PSE This map illustrates a satellite-imagery based comprehensive assessment of damage and destruction to structures within the area of interest in the Gaza Strip, Occupied Palestinian Territory, based on images collected on 6 and 7 January 2024 when compared to images collected on 1 May 2023, 10 May 2023, 18 September 2023, 15 October 2023, 7 November 2023, and 26 November 2023. According to satellite imagery analysis, UNOSAT identified 22,130 destroyed structures, 14,066 severely damaged structures and 32,950 moderately damaged structures, for a total of 69,146 structures. These correspond to around 30% of the total structures in the Gaza Strip and a total of 93,800 estimated damaged housing units. The governorates of Gaza and Khan Yunis have experienced the highest rise in damage, with 10,319 new structures damaged in Gaza and 11,893 in Khan Yunis. Gaza City had the highest number of newly destroyed structures, with 8,926 in total. This is a preliminary analysis and has not yet been validated in the field.

UNOSAT code: CE20231007PSE This map illustrates satellite-detected changes in agricultural areas of the Gaza Strip resulting from the decline in the health and density of crops due to the ongoing conflict. UNOSAT conducted an analysis utilising satellite imagery collected by the Sentinel-2 satellite between January 2018 and 2024, performing a Normalised Difference Vegetation Index (NDVI) analysis as well as a multi-temporal classification to identify notable changes taking place in agricultural areas during that time frame. The methodology evaluated the damage as a substantial decline in the health and density of crops in January 2024, in comparison to the preceding six seasons spanning from 2018 to 2024. The decline in the health and density of the crops can be observed due to the impact of activities such as razing, heavy vehicle activity, bombing, shelling, and other conflict-related dynamics. The analysis includes damage assessment for permanent crop fields, arable land, and fallow lands. UNOSAT analysis shows that the agricultural extent in the Gaza Strip is estimated to be 178 sq. km, accounting for approximately 49% of the total area of Gaza, following an extensive land cover analysis. Compared to the average of the previous six years, approximately 34% of the permanent crop fields and arable land in the Gaza Strip exhibited a significant decline in health and density in January 2024. Crop analysis shows that 21% of the arable land has been damaged. Furthermore, the analysis shows that there has been a significant increase in damage to the permanent crop fields and arable land in the Deir al-Balah Governorate, with around 56% of its agricultural land being impacted. Additionally, there has been an increase in agricultural land damage in the Khan Yunis Governorate, rising from 3% to 14% between imagery collected in December 2023 and January 2024. This is a preliminary analysis and has not yet been validated in the field.
