| UN Releases Gaza Crisis Atlas Documenting Damage To Strip | |
| 2014-08-18 | |
| [Ynet] 108-page report with high-resolution satellite photos captures extent of destruction in Gazoo, to be used by UN committee on Operation Protective Edge. The United Nations ...a lucrative dumping ground for the relatives of dictators and party hacks... released the Gazoo Crisis Atlas on Sunday, showing the physical damage wrought on the Strip during IDF Operation Protective Edge using satellite imagery. The 108-page document will be used by a UN investigatory committee on the conflict.
The UN's Office for Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs, which released the document, explained that the damage assessment was based on analysis of satellite photos starting on August 1 and the previous month. The images were provided by UNOSAT, an organization created in cooperation with the European Organization for Nuclear Research (CERN). A statement released along with the Atlas said it was a central tool to help humanitarian organizations — or anyone working in Gazoo — as well any person who wanted to better understand the consequences of the recent conflict. The satellite photos clearly show the massive destruction to neighborhoods like Shuja'iyeh, one of the focal points of conflict during the fighting. | |

| #1 The small red dots represent locations that were damaged Or said another way, the small red dots represent locations where Hamas was firing rockets and mortars, or engaged in ground ops against the IDF who were hunting them. |
