Summary
[edit]DescriptionDrought in Madagascar.jpg |
English: In the southern region of Madagascar, recurrent drought has had a devastating impact, wiping out harvests and hampering people's access to food. According to the World Food Programme, three consecutive years of drought coupled with a sharp recession triggered by the COVID-19 pandemic will leave a third of the population in Southern Madagascar without enough food and more than 135,000 children will suffer from acute malnutrition. This image, acquired by one of the Copernicus Sentinel-2 satellites on 3 January 2021, shows the Atsimo Andrefana Region, one of the most affected areas by the drought of recent years. With a revisit time of five days on average at the equator, the Copernicus Sentinel-2 satellites deliver free and open data that can be used to monitor droughts and their impact. The Copernicus Emergency Management Service also runs a European and a Global Drought Observatory. |
