Satellite detected water extents between 10 and 14 August 2024 over [South Sudan]
Description
**UNOSAT code: FL20240425SSD** This map illustrates cumulative satellite-detected water using VIIRS in South Sudan between 10 to 14 August 2024 compared with the period from 01 to 05 August 2024. Within the cloud free analysed areas of about 620,000 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 1,800 km² since the period between 01 to 05 August 2024. Based on Worldpop population data and the maximal flood water extent ~505,000 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).
