**UNOSAT code: FR20191016LBN** This map illustrates satellite-detected burned areas in Akkar, Tartous and Homs Governorates, in Lebanon and Syria, based on SPOT-6 imagery acquired on 21 October 2019. Approximately 549 ha of potentially burned areas were detected by UNOSAT as of 21 October 2019 (red). This is a preliminary analysis and has not yet been validated in the field. Please send ground feedback to UNITAR - UNOSAT.

**UNOSAT code: FR20191016LBN** This map illustrates satellite-detected burned areas in Aley and Chouf districts, in Lebanon, based on SPOT-6 imagery acquired on 19 October 2019. Approximately 1275 ha of potentially burned areas were detected by Copernicus-EMS as of 17 October 2019 (orange) and additional 92 ha of burned were detected by UNOSAT as of 19 October 2019 (red), which is equivalent to approximately 7% increase in affected surface area. This is a preliminary analysis and has not yet been validated in the field. Please send ground feedback to UNITAR - UNOSAT.

**UNOSAT code: FR20191016LBN** This map illustrates satellite-detected burned areas in South and El Nabatieh Governorates, in Lebanon, based on SPOT-6 imagery acquired on 19 October 2019. Approximately 80 ha of potentially burned area were detected by UNOSAT as of 19 October 2019 (red), This is a preliminary analysis and has not yet been validated in the field.

**UNOSAT code: FR20191016LBN** This map illustrates satellite-detected fire hotspots based on the analysis of Visible Infrared Imaging Radiometer Suite (VIIRS) accessed via NASA FIRMS, between October 15-16, 2019. 30 hotspots were detected in Lebanon and 121 hotspots were detected in three analysed Governorates (i.e. Homs, Lattakia and Tartous) in Syria. This is a preliminary analysis and has not yet been validated in the field. Please send ground feedback to UNITAR - UNOSAT.

**UNOSAT code: FR20250707SYR, GDACS ID: 1024188** This map illustrates satellite-detected burned areas in Qastal Maaf, Rabee'a, and Kasab Sub-districts, Latakia Governorate, Syria, based on Pleiades imagery acquired on 8 July 2025 at 11:48 local time. Within the analyzed area of approximately 700 km², around 100 km² of land appears to be potentially burned. Based on WorldPop population data and the extent of the burned areas, an estimated 5,500 people are potentially exposed or living in close proximity to the affected zones. In addition, approximately 2,400 buildings were potentially exposed to fires. This is a preliminary analysis and has not yet been validated in the field. Please send ground feedback to United Nations Satellite Centre (UNOSAT).

**UNOSAT code: FR20250707SYR, GDACS ID: 1024188** This map illustrates satellite-detected burned areas in Qastal Maaf Subdistrict, Latakia Governorate, Syria based on Planet Scope image acquired on 4 July 2025 at 11:43 local time. Within the analyzed area of about 30 km², about 4 km² of lands appear to be potentially burned. Based on WorldPop population data and the extent of burned areas (within 1 km), approximately 900 people are potentially exposed or living in close to burned areas. In addition, about 500 buildings are located within 1 km of the burned zones, which may also be at risk or affected. This is a preliminary analysis and has not yet been validated in the field. Please send ground feedback to United Nations Satellite Centre (UNOSAT).
