Hi,<br>
<br>
When I pointed out that clear high resolution images of the town of
Kitchanga (and of the area between Saké and Kitchanga, including the
village of Burungu) were available, thanks to the State Department,
Claire, who is our main contact in DRC, replied that :<br>
"We could set tasks for the national road surroundings, Burungu and
Kitchanga.<br>
But it would also be valuable to use them for mapping all visible
infrastructures out of those first three."<br>
<br>
And, half an hour later, she added :<br>
"ICRC confirmed their interest for Kitchanga data already.
Considering the level of recent damages in town, it would be good to
get all the buildings drawn as well.<br>
Some other organisations might also be interested soon."<br>
<br>
<br>
For more information in your language about what happened recently
in Kitchanga, you can look it up in your favorite search engine.<br>
<br>
Here are for example a few links, in English :<br>

<pre wrap="">I am not sure what the goal is specifically, only that we have a gap
in our coverage in the strip heading north from Sake and we were
granted access to some imagery to cover the area. We got the imagery
due to interest in the region from humanitarian organizations, but I
do not know who asked for the coverage or what specifically they are
looking for. All I know is that we were missing imagery for this area
and now we have it.
Wish I had a more specific answer for you but that is all I have at
this point. Hopefully someone can elaborate further so we can set
priorities appropriately, but even if not, this is just a good gap in
our coverage to fill in anyway.
