Damage Assessment: Neighborhoods in Western Benghazi City, Libya

This map illustrates satellite-detected areas of damage in the Bu Attniy North and Bu Attniy South 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 1,701 potentially damaged structures in these neighborhoods. Approximately 573 of these were destroyed, 329 severely damaged, 496 moderately damaged, and 303 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 is a preliminary analysis & 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 Tabellino, Venice, Beloun, Al Hawary, Bu Hedima, and Al Lethy 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 1,488 potentially damaged structures in these neighborhoods. Approximately 526 of these were destroyed, 283 severely damaged, 357 moderately damaged, and 322 possibly damaged. A slightly higher margin of error is possible in this analysis due to cloud obstruction, utilization of multiple images, and the uncontrolled nature of construction in Benghazi during the analysis timeframe. This is a preliminary analysis & has not yet been validated in the field. Please send ground feedback to UNITAR-UNOSAT.

This map illustrates satellite-detected damage in the city of Idlib, Syrian Arab Republic. Using satellite imagery acquired 01 August 2016, 06 April 2015, 02 May 2014, and 15 September 2013 UNITAR - UNOSAT identified a total of 1,267 affected structures within the city. Approximately 278 of these were destroyed, 353 severely damaged, and 636 moderately damaged. While much of the city was damaged by 06 April 2015, 768 structures were newly damaged and 39 structures experienced an increase in damage between that date and 01 August 2016. This analysis was done as part of the REACH initiative for the U.S. Office of Foreign Disaster Assistance. This is a preliminary analysis and has not yet been validated in the field.

This map illustrates satellite-detected damage in Old City, Mosul, Ninawa Governorate, Iraq. Using satellite imagery acquired 11 June 2017, UNITAR - UNOSAT identified a total of 2,589 affected structures within this part of city. Approximately 153 (6% of the total affected buildings) of these were destroyed, 950 (37% of the total affected buildings) severely damaged and 1,486 (57% of the total affected buildings) moderately damaged. The most heavily impacted location appears to be the Bazaar area (see inset). Due to the densely constructed nature of this part of the city, these values might be underestimated. This is a preliminary analysis and has not yet been validated in the field. Please send ground feedback to UNITAR - UNOSAT.
