In 2015, the World Health Organization established the Attacks on Health Care (AHC) initiative. This initiative is a priority of WHO’s Health Emergencies Programme. The vision of the initiative is that essential lifesaving health services must be provided to emergency-affected populations unhindered by any form of violence or obstruction. The Surveillance System for Attacks on Health Care (SSA) is one of the outputs of this initiative. The purpose of the WHO Surveillance System for Attacks on Health Care (SSA) is to systematically collect and make available data on attacks on health care, and their immediate impact on health care in countries facing emergencies.
Definition of attack
WHO defines an attack as any act of verbal or physical violence, threat of violence or other psychological violence, or obstruction that interferes with the availability, access and delivery of curative and/or preventive health services.

This dataset contains a pre-/post- satellite imagery damage assessment of every cross-corroborated medical facility in Mariupol from 6/21/2021 - 7/13/2022. Medical facility data was obtained from Google Maps, Open Street Map, the Ukrainian Healthcare Center, and Wikimapia. Commercially available satellite imagery was sourced from Maxar Technologies and Planet Labs.

This resource provides important information about individuals who were reported missing or stranded, requests and offers of shelter, and general calls for assistance, such as requests for food and donations, from Twitter data collected during The 2023 Türkiye-Syria earthquake. Additionally, the resource provides damage reports collected from Twitter in the form of images. The data provides district-level aggregation of particular type of information, raw data points, population, and a district-level impact score. The data was collected using the AIDR system (http://aidr.qcri.org/) and processed/analyzed using machine learning and rule-based techniques.
Key Figures extracted from OCHA daily Situation Reports.
