Satellite detected water and IDP distribution over Belet Weyne Town
Description
UNOSAT code: FL20191030SOM This map illustrates the satellite-detected flood water extent and IDP distribution within the town of Belet Weyne in Belet Weyne District, Hiiran Region, Somalia. The analysis was conducted by analyzing WorldView-1 images acquired on the 1 November 2019. As observed from the satellite image, the town of Belet Weyne is heavily affected by floods. Around 60% of the vicinity of the town is completely inundated; the districts of Hawa tako, Kutimbo, and the Lamagalay Regional Millitary Base completely submerged in water. More than 110 IDP sites are located inside of the town and 40% of them are located within completely flooded areas. This is a preliminary analysis and has not been validated in the field yet. Please send ground feedback to UNITAR-UNOSAT.
