Hi All,
I was reading the below linked article on the BBC today and came across the
map. It looks like they’re using OSM-derived internally displaced person (IDP)
camp data without attribution.

Based on what I’m reading in the relevant coordination channels it appears that
HOT / Kathmandu Living Labs are one of the main sources for IDP damage. This is
confirmed by the obvious square shape of the southern camps shown. The shape
appears to align with bounds of HOT task #1008.

Likely this is an honest mistake from a BBC reporter who sourced the derived
data from the Nepali government. Nonetheless it’s a violation and should be
fixed.
Is there anyone with BBC contacts who could try to have this sorted? I’ve
written them through the generic Contact button but personal contacts are
always quicker.
Best,
Robert
