Wildfires south of Beirut, in Aley and Chouf districts, Lebanon

**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. Please send ground feedback to UNITAR - UNOSAT.

**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 Al-Haffa and Al-Qardaha Districts, Lattakia Governorate, Syria, based on SPOT-6 imagery acquired on 21 October 2019. Approximately 433 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 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.

This map illustrates satellite-detected fires and environmental damage at and around Al Qayyarah, approximately 60 Km south of Mosul, Iraq. The main frame shows fires and the oil spill as seen in imagery collected between 23 December 2016 and 24 January 2017. Marked in blue are fires that were detected in 23 December 2016 but appear inactive as of 24 January 2017. Insets on the left show the oil spill north of Al Qayyarah, detected with both radar and optical imagery from multiple dates. As seen in the imagery, the oil spill is very close to one of the streams which is incidentally a tributary to the Tigris River; therefore, it is possible that oil is spilling to the river. The spectral signature from thermal imagery also suggest that areas of the oil spill are on fire. This is a preliminary analysis and has not yet been validated in the field. Please send ground feedback to UNITAR - UNOSAT.

Cette carte illustre la densité des foyers d'incendies détectés à partir des données du spectro radiomètre d'imagerie de résolution modérée (MODIS) de la NASA, accessible via NASA FIRMS, dans le nord de l'Algérie entre le 1er et le 13 juillet 2017. 813 foyers ont été détectés durant cette période avec un pic de 318 foyers enregistrés le 11 juillet 2017 sur la zone de la carte qui s'étale de la wilaya de Chlef à la frontière Est. Ceci est une analyse préliminaire et n'a pas encore été validée sur le terrain. Ne pas hésiter à envoyer vos commentaires à UNITAR-UNOSAT.
