Dear All, Last week 3 high_priority tasks were completed within 3 days in DRC thanks to 25 active contributors. Some of those contributors have completed numerous squares on all the 3 tasks, that was precious! Those needs were expressed by Doctors Without Borders and data was sucessfully shared with the organisation working on the ground in the Ebola affected area.
Death toll now reached 31 persons out of 53 cases. Humanitarian organizations are trying to set up medical infrastructures in the affected area. Being located in a dense equatorial forest, accessibility to the area is problematic. Logistics aspects currently challenge all who want to bring material for building temporary health infrastructures and other structures. The UN agency OCHA sent a formal request to HOT last night in order to increase our support in providing geographic data for a wider area, we are therefore turning this DRC Ebola humanitarian project into a proper HOT Activation. New tasks will be set up as soon as imagery is available. Keep mapping! Claire ps: Our new Activation page: http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/2014_DRC_Ebola_Response
