GAZA CRISIS ATLAS – August 2014
The Atlas has 108 pages [PDF] of printable A3-size maps featuring satellite images of all areas of the Gaza Strip. The main features/land marks were plotted on a high resolution satellite image captured on 6 July 2014.
The Atlas was designed at the neighborhood level to provide higher level of detail to support operational organizations to conduct needs assessments and programming. The individual subset maps illustrate physical damages provided by UNOSAT based on analysis of satellite images from 1 August 2014. Location of shelters, health and education facilities in addition to other baseline information is all mapped. ***PDF-GAZA ATLAS***

WHAT GIVES THE BASTARD STATE OF ISRAEL THE RIGHT TO CALL ANYONE ILLEGITIMATE?
Israel …..
A State that has NOT stood on its own financially since its inception.
A State that has ignored EVERY UN Sanction against it since its inception.
A State that has sent spies to the very nations that have kept her alive.
A State that has displaced millions of people from their homes and properties.
A State that, in this decade alone, has murdered thousands of innocent civilians including women and children.
YET, this is how the zionists portray the latest events …
