    This map illustrates potential satellite-detected structures in Cajobabo town and the surrounding area in Guantanamo Province, Cuba. The UNITAR-UNOSAT analysis used a Pleiades satellite image, acquired on the 7 of October, 2016. The analysis identified 450 damaged structures within the map extent of which 211 were identified inside the town of Cajobabo. This is a preliminary analysis and has not yet been validated in the field. Please send ground feedback to UNITAR - UNOSAT.

    This map illustrates satellite-detected areas of IDP shelters in the UN House compound in Juba, Central Equatoria, South Sudan. UNITAR-UNOSAT analysis of WorldView-1 satellite imagery acquired 27 June 2016 revealed a total of 8,477 shelters as well as 231 infrastructure and support buildings within the compound. This represents an increase of approximately 3.2 percent in shelters and a decrease of roughly 3.3 percent in infrastructure and support buildings since the previous UNITAR-UNOSAT analysis of 25 September 2015 satellite imagery. While no structures were detected within PoC2, containers were visible in this area on 27 June 2016, as seen in inset 2. This is a preliminary analysis and has not yet been validated in the field.

    This map illustrates shelters in the area of the Hadalat crossing on the Syrian-Jordanian border. Using a satellite image collected by the Deimos-2 satellite on 29 April 2016, UNOSAT located 1,869 probable shelters within the 76.5 ha of the camp. This is a 587% increase in shelters since the previous UNOSAT analysis done using an image collected 29 January 2016. Due to the small size and the irregularity of the shelters it is likely that some shelters may have been missed in this analysis, or some shelters were included erroneously. Due to the scale of this map and the lack of suitable border information at this scale, the border in this map has been excluded. This map is intended for field support and local authorities should be consulted for boundary information. This is a preliminary analysis and has not yet been validated in the field.

    This map illustrates satellite-detected waters over the Shabelle hoose region of Somalia. Using satellite imagery acquired 16 November 2015 and 02 January 2015, UNITAR-UNOSAT identified a total affected area of roughly 2,790 hectares in the Shabelle Hoose province. As of 16 November 2015, approximately 2,970 hectares of probable standing rain waters were detected over the districts of Qoryooley, Kurtunwaarey, Marka, Baraawe and Sablaale. Due to the characteristics of satellite data used for this analysis, the exact limit of flood water is uncertain. Detected water bodies likely reflect an underestimation of all flood-affected areas within the map extent. This analysis has not yet been validated in the field. Please send ground feedback to UNITAR-UNOSAT. Pre-flood assessment performed by SWALIM.

    This map illustrates satellite-detected damage and destruction in the Shkaftat Gharby village of Sinjar District, Nineveh Province, Iraq. Using satellite imagery acquired 18 and 28 November 2015, 30 December 2014, and 07 August 2014, UNITAR - UNOSAT identified a total of 41 potentially affected structures. Approximately 16 of these were destroyed, 12 severely damaged, 6 moderately damaged, and 7 possibly damaged. Note that due to less-than-ideal imagery characteristics the error margin for this analysis is likely higher than usual, and due to terrain distortion the spatial accuracy is +/- 15 meters.

    This map illustrates satellite-detected areas of damage in the Al Thama, Al Sabri, Old Benghazi, Al Salmane Al Sharge, and Al Salmane Al Garbe neighborhoods of Benghazi City, Libya. Using satellite imagery acquired 04 and 19 April 2016 as well as 01 August 2015, UNITAR-UNOSAT identified a total of 1,184 potentially damaged structures in these neighborhoods. Approximately 75 of these were destroyed, 198 severely damaged, 426 moderately damaged, and 485 possibly damaged. A slightly higher margin of error is possible in this analysis due to utilization of multiple images and the uncontrolled nature of construction in Benghazi during the analysis timeframe.

    This map illustrates satellite-detected areas of IDPs in Bor UNMISS Base and Protection of Civilian (PoC) areas, in Jonglei state, as seen by the WorldView-3 satellite on 8 October 2015. The IDP structures were moved from the old PoC area in the northeast of the base to the new PoC area found in the south, and currently all the IDP shelters are now entirely in the southern extension of the UNMISS base. There are currently 1,077 structures in the IDP settlement with 101 consisting of infrastructure buildings and 976 of shelter structures. A large part of the camp still remains unoccupied and this can be seen as the Contingency area. This is a preliminary analysis and has not yet been validated in the field.

    This map illustrates satellite-detected flood waters south of Myanmar's largest city, Yangon, as imaged by the Radarsat-2 satellite on 9 August 2015. Most of the flood affected lands are agricultural fields in the Yangon river delta. There is no significant overflowing of waters along the river bank. In the area analyzed, ~45,000 hectares of land has been identified as flood affected/inundated land as of 9 August 2015. It is likely that flood waters have been systematically underestimated along highly vegetated areas near the main river banks, and within built-up urban areas because of the special characteristics of the satellite data used. This is a preliminary analysis and has not yet been validated in the field. Please send ground feedback to UNITAR-UNOSAT.

    This map illustrates satellite-detected internally displaced persons shelters in the village tract of Nyaung Pin Gyi, Maungdaw Township, Rakhine State. Using satellite imagery collected on 6 November 2017 UNOSAT identified a total of 457 shelters in a beach area 7 km south of Maungdaw town, next to the mouth of the Naf River between Myanmar and Bangladesh. Several unidentified trucks are observed on the road located adjacent to the internally displaced persons settlement. As of 11 November 2017, 307 shelters were identified which represents a 33 percent decrease from 6 November. Additionally, several likely rafts are observed by the shoreline on 11 November 2017. Additional imagery analysis indicates this settlement began before 6 October and grew quickly, with shelters starting to decrease after 11 November as noted. A smaller camp is located 7 km southeast in the village tract of Ka Nyin Tan Alel Than Kyaw Ka Nyin Tan with approximately 200 shelters as of 11 November 2017. This is a preliminary analysis and has not yet been validated in the field. Please send ground feedback to UNITAR - UNOSAT.

    This map illustrates satellite-detected areas of damage in the town of Al Quaryatayn, Homs Governorate, Syria. Using Pleiades satellite imagery acquired 07 May 2016 and 20 August 2010 WorldView-2 imagery as a reference, UNITAR-UNOSAT identified a total of 616 potentially damaged structures. Approximately 79 of these were destroyed, 190 severely damaged, 256 moderately damaged, and 91 possibly damaged. Additionally, a total of 11 impact craters were observed. Due to cloud obstruction, an underestimation of damage is possible. This is a preliminary analysis & has not yet been validated in the field. Please send ground feedback to UNITAR-UNOSAT.
