About Syria Tracker

Background


Syria Tracker, project of Humanitarian Tracker, offers a crisis mapping system that uses crowdsourced text, photo and video reports and data mining techniques forming a live map of the Syrian conflict since March 2011. Syria Tracker provides:

  • A continually updated list of eye witness reports from within Syria, often accompanied by media links
  • Aggregate reports including analysis and visualizations of deaths and atrocities in Syria
  • A stream of content-filtered media from news, social media (Twitter and Facebook) and official sources


سوريا تراكر هو جهد متعدد المصادر تم تصميمه من قبل مجموعة من الأشخاص المتأثرين بحجم الأذى الذي يتعرض إليه المدنيين في سوريا
