<p class="MsoNormal">Dear Open Street Map volunteers,<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">On behalf of UNITAR’s Operational Satellite Applications Programme (UNOSAT) I would like to thank you for the tremendous effort put into the Gaza baseline data generation. The work you done in will help us better analyse the impact of the
conflict and combines perfectly with our damage assessment. By having OSM use the same pre-event image that we used for our damage assessment, we have a good correlation between building footprints from OSM and damage points by UNOSAT. <o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">For more information on our Gaza work, including also input from OSM, please see

<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Many thanks also to Fred Moine who has been instrumental in setting up and managing this extensive volunteer effort.
<o:p></o:p></p>

<p class="MsoNormal">Thank you all for this great effort.<o:p></o:p></p>
