Title
Satellite detected water extents between 01 and 05 March 2023 over South Sudan
Description
**UNOSAT code FL20220424SSD** This map illustrates cumulative satellite-detected water using VIIRS in South Sudan between 01 to 05 March 2023 compared with the period from 20 to 24 February 2023. Within the cloud free analyzed areas of about 630,000 km², a total of about 30,000 km² of lands appear to be affected with flood waters. Water extent appears to have increased of about 5,000 km² since the period between 20 to 24 February 2023. Based on Worldpop population data and the maximal flood water extent ~480,000 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).
