The UN Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs’ (OCHA) newest publication, the Gaza Crisis Atlas 2014, is now available for download!
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 neighbourhood 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.

It is a vital tool for humanitarian and development organizations, but it is also a valuable resource for anyone operating in Gaza as well as those wanting to better understand the impact of the recent escalation of hostilities.
