Help for Nepal

One video from Kathmandu:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_gE0UnyA2kI

Regarding to https:
https://www.mapbox.com/blog/nepal-earthquake-imagery-0427/ they have a new URL for Kathmandu-pictures from 27.04.2015:

To use this imagery, add the following URL to your OpenStreetMap editor. For the web editor, iD, add the URL via “background settings”; for the desktop editor, JOSM, add the URL via imagery preferences.
https://{switch:a,b,c,d}.tiles.mapbox.com/v4/mapbox.satellite-kathmandu-20150425-after/{zoom}/{x}/{y}.jpg?access_token=pk.eyJ1Ijoib3BlbnN0cmVldG1hcCIsImEiOiJhNVlHd29ZIn0.ti6wATGDWOmCnCYen-Ip7Q"

Новые тайлы от мапбокса для Катманду (о чём написано выше):

https://{switch:a,b,c,d}.tiles.mapbox.com/v4/mapbox.satellite-kathmandu-20150425-after/{zoom}/{x}/{y}.jpg?access_token=pk.eyJ1Ijoib3BlbnN0cmVldG1hcCIsImEiOiJhNVlHd29ZIn0.ti6wATGDWOmCnCYen-Ip7Q

Что-то не удается использовать. При подложке с этим адресом JOSM сильно грузит, а картинки так и не показывает… (TMS)

Там очень маленькая область - только для Катманду.

I see around Kathmandu city a lot of missing buildings.
We can use normal Bing background for that.
Mostly the buildings are singular and good visible in Bing.

Edit:
I see task from HOT for this problem:
http://tasks.hotosm.org/project/190

We are now 2222 mappers they do or did something in Nepal.
In Haiti earthquake disaster some years before: 700 mappers.

Please, don´t stop. They need our help.
