Ugandan Displaced join Somali Refugees in Google Earth

Maybe they could form a support group? I know, I know, that’s not the sort of thing we’re supposed to joke about.

Yan Rebois of CartONG has written to let me know that their displaced mapping project with UNHCR is now public, an interesting application based on Google Maps, for general use by humanitarian organisations. Although it requires a log-in to edit anything, you can view the information without any authorisation.

The application maps the locations and background information on the displaced communities that UNHCR and partner agencies are working with in Uganda, centred around Gulu, which makes sense. It’s specifically listed as “operation informationâ€

  2. Hi Liban Mohommed,

    Very sorry to hear about your problems. There is very little I can do from the position of this blog. Can you explain your situation a little more? If you have a ration card, are you receiving assistance from UNHCR or any NGOs? If you are not receiving assistance, where is the block stopping you?
