Dear Bob, please have a look at the compilation we're providing on our Knowledge Portal: http://www.un-spider.org/horn-of-africa-2011 You can find maps / products on different areas, which are being updated on a regular basis.

I am just pointing out that with all the billions of dollars of aid that is slowly going to the region that there are no publicly available maps for the region. With the UN and the largest Aid Agencies going there, yet there is no discussion about the necessity of maps to help these agencies or to start planning for long term development. The fact that the refugee camp in Daadab has been there for 20 years and yet there is no map of it. So I am asking for a little help. If you see an article in a newspaper about the famine can you post a comment about public maps and the availability of UN Satellite images. We all pay for the UN so I would have thought that the images should be under a public domain licence The Independent newspaper is here http://www.independent.co.uk/news/world/africa/ but if your prefer you own newspaper then thats good too Cheers Bob _______________________________________________ HOT mailing list HOT@openstreetmap.org http://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/hot
