Somalia - Displaced Persons' Shelters in Dalxiska

This map illustrates satellite-detected areas of IDP shelters in the UN House compound in Juba, Central Equatoria, South Sudan. UNITAR-UNOSAT analysis of satellite imagery acquired 05 September 2016 and 30 August 2016 revealed a total of 8,783 shelters as well as 320 infrastructure and support buildings within the compound. This represents an increase of approximately 4 percent in shelters and an increase of roughly 38 percent in infrastructure and support buildings since the previous UNITAR-UNOSAT analysis of 27 June 2016 satellite imagery. New structures and containers were detected within PoC2 on 27 June 2016, as seen in inset 2. 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 displaced person settlements in Baidoa town, the southwestern capital of Bay region in Somalia. Using a Worlview-2 satellite image collected on 21 April 2017, UNOSAT analyzed the town of Baidoa and its outskirts areas and identified 272 locations where displaced person shelters are visible. A total of approximately 33,467 shelter structures are estimated to be within the ~149 hectares of settlement area. This represent an increase of 143% in shelter structures compared with the last UNOSAT analysis performed using imagery collected on 22 January 2017, where a total of 13,766 shelters, inside 144 locations, within 96 hectares of settlement area were detected. Note that also 1,288 additional shelters were detected in the previous analysis but were not detected in the current one as they are obscured by clouds in the image from 21 April 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 displaced persons shelters in the Muna settlement near Dalakaleri, Nigeria, 6 km east of Maidugur's city on the main road that connect Maidugur to Dikwa. UNITAR-UNOSAT analysis of satellite imagery acquired 5 September 2016 revealed a total of 2,597 shelters and 22 infrastructure and support buildings within the Muna compound. In addition there are 203 detected shelters outside the settlement, grouped across the road. Finally, as of 5 September 2016 there are 120 newly constructed shelters arranged in five rows in the norther part of the Muna compound. 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 displaced person settlements in the Daraa and Quneitra Governorates, Syria. Using satellite imagery collected between 3 November 2016 and 7 June 2017, covering an analyzed area of 2,513 sq km (251,362 ha), UNOSAT identified 766 locations where possible displaced persons shelters are visible. Approximately a total of 5,516 shelter structures are estimated to be within the 777 ha of settlement areas. Due to the characteristics of the possible IDP settlements in the area, being the majority of them scattered structures in agricultural fields, the number of possible IDP shelters might have been overestimated. 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 displaced person settlements in Baidoa town, the southwestern capital of Bay Region in Somalia. Using a WorldView-2 satellite image collected on 30 December 2017, UNOSAT analyzed a total of 286 distinct IDP shelter sites including 81 new sites, 62 expanded sites, 49 contracted site and 94 unchanged sites as well as 73 closed sites. Compared to the previous analysis on 21 April 2017, this represents an increase of 16 sites (5.9%). This is a preliminary analysis and has not yet been validated in the field.
