**UNOSAT code: FL20240425SSD** Satellite detected water extents between 13 and 17 September 2024 over South Sudan This map illustrates cumulative satellite-detected water using VIIRS in South Sudan between 13 to 17 September 2024 compared with the period from 18 to 22 August 2024 . Within the cloud free analysed areas of about 560,000 km², a total of about 41,400 km² of lands appear to be affected with flood waters. Water extent appears to have increased of about 23,300 km² since the period between 18 to 22 August 2024 . Based on Worldpop population data and the maximal flood water extent ~305,000 people are potentially exposed or living close to flooded areas. This is a preliminary analysis and has not yet been validated in the field. Please send ground feedback to the United Nations Satellite Centre (UNOSAT).
