Title
Satellite detected water extent in Juba Dhexe and Jhuba Hoose Regions, Somalia as of 07 November 2023
Description
**UNOSAT code FL20231105SOM** This map illustrates satellite-detected surface waters in Bu'aaler and Saakow District, Juba Dhexe Region and Afmadow District, Juba Hoose Region Somalia as observed from a Sentinel-1 image acquired on 07 November 2023 at 02:54 UTC. Within the analysed area of about 7,600 km², about 180 km² of land appear to be flooded. This is a preliminary analysis and has not yet been validated in the field. Please send ground feedback to United Nations Satellite Centre (UNOSAT). Important note: Flood analysis from radar images may underestimate the presence of standing waters in built-up areas and densely vegetated areas due to backscattering properties of the radar signal.
