Thanks to the HOT contributors who completed the detailed mapping of Uvira, in South-Kivu. The city population of more then 170,000, suffers actually a cholera epidemy. The data will be exported to GIS softwares and help the humanitarian groups analyze the situation. Map : http://osm.org/go/l2WPg05J
We already have mapped many areas and others tasks are still ungoing for this activation at http://tasks.hotosm.org/#all/Congo. New images should also be available soon for the area around Sake, north of lake Kivu. This humanitarian activation is particular both in a context of long term instability and violence in the Kivus. The extent of the area to cover and the difficulty to access hundred of thousands of displaced people are also challenges. To better support the humanitarian groups and facilitate access to more imagery from the International Space Chapter, we ask those who have contacts with NGO's that operate in North and South Kivu to contact us.
