  • The European Campaign to End the Siege on Gaza (ECESG) Is an Anti-Israel, Pro-Hamas Umbrella Organization Which Participated in the Mavi Marmara Flotilla
    The Meir Amit Intelligence and Terrorism Information Center October 5, 2010 The European Campaign to End the Siege on Gaza (ECESG) is an anti-Israel, pro-Hamas umbrella organization which participated in the Mavi Marmara flotilla. The ECESG is currently involved in organizing an upgraded flotilla, and in other projects to further isolate Israel, part of the campaign to delegitimize it. The Sfendoni 8000, the ECESG's vessel in the Mavi Marmara flotilla. The number refers to the 8000 Palestinian terrorists detained by Israel. 253-10 2 Overview 1. The European Campaign to End the Siege on Gaza (ECESG) is an anti-Israel, pro Hamas umbrella organization operating in Europe. It participated in the last flotilla (which ended with a violent confrontation aboard the Mavi Marmara) along with a coalition of four other anti-Israel organizations led by the Turkish IHH. Since then the ECESG and the other coalition members have been intensively promoting new programs with the objective of embarrassing Israel and deepening its isolation. The coalition projects include an upgraded flotilla which has been organizing for several months as Freedom Fleet 2 (its organizers hope to include more than 20 ships from various countries), and sending a plane to the Gaza Strip. 2. The ECESG was founded in 2007, the same year as Hamas' violent takeover of the Fatah and Palestinian Authority institutions in the Gaza Strip. Its declared objectives are "the complete lifting" of the so-called Israeli "siege" of the Gaza Strip and bringing humanitarian assistance to its residents. However, beyond that goal, which is supported by Western human rights organizations and activists, lie hidden its undeclared political objectives.

    Ministry of Information Government Media Office Ministry of Information : 97 Israeli violations against Palestinian journalists in latest aggression on Gaza The Government Media Office - Ministry of Information has documented an unprec- edented attack against press freedom by the Israeli occupation army in its most re- cent offensive against the Gaza Strip last May. The Office reported more than 97 violations against Palestinian journalists and their homes, vehicles and media offices. This attack is intended to suppress the truth and cover up Israeli violations against the Palestinian people by silencing the media or preventing media workers from as- suming their role, as the Israeli occupation government believes it has immunity from prosecution and accountability and acts above international law and norms, especially as no perpetrator of crimes against journalists and civilians have been p r o s e c u t e d . In a report, the office’s Monitoring and Follow Up Unit said that such violations marked an increase in violence against journalists and media organisations by Israeli occu- pation compared with the 2008, 2012, and 2014 onslaughts against the Gaza Strip. During its aggression on Gaza, Israeli occupation forces perpetrated several severe and grave violations against journalists and media outlets that amount to war crimes. The vast majority of these attacks were complicate crimes that have widespread short-and long-term consequences, paralyzing some media outlets for long periods of time.

  • Gaza City (Period 1999 – 2007) Maher A
    JOURNAL OF ENGINEERING RESEARCH AND TECHNOLOGY, VOLUME 2, ISSUE 1, MARCH 2015 Spatio Temporal Analysis in Land Use and Land Cover Using GIS Case Study: Gaza City (Period 1999 – 2007) Maher A. El-Hallaq Assistant Professor of Surveying and Geodesy, Civil Eng. Department, The Islamic University of Gaza, Palestine [email protected] Abstract— In recent years, Gaza City is exposed to a large amount of land use and land cover changes, as a result of lack of planning and monitoring programs. This leads to complex serious problems such as: lack of storm water infiltration, impact of global warming, potential agricultural failures, soil erosion, etc. Due to increasing changes of land use, mainly by human activities, detection of such changes, assessment of their trends and environmental effects are necessary for future planning and resource management. This study aims to detect changes occurred in Gaza City for land use and land cover during the interval between 1999 and 2007using GIS techniques. It shows that within the period from 1999 to 2007, the built up areas have been reached the highest increase (8.06%). On the other hand, both of green and dry lands have been decreased. Certainty, the green lands is transformed from 41.79% in 1999 to 38.80% and the dry lands become 18.80% in 2007 while it is 24.16% in 1999. For the wet lands, the area of this category has been increased with a percent of 0.96% as a total in 2007. Depending on those numbers, the study expects that the built up areas will be the dominance at the expense of other categories as a result of the continuous population growth and in accordance to the proposed master plan of 2025 of Gaza City.

  • The Coastal Zone of Gaza Strip-Palestine Management and Problems
    The Coastal Zone of Gaza strip-Palestine Management and Problems Presentation for MAMA first kick-off meeting 11-13 March Paris By Dr. Mahmoud Ali Al Azhar University Gaza Palestine 1. Historical Background The coastline of the Gaza strip forms only a small section of a larger concave system that extends from Alexandria at the West Side of the Nile Delta, via Port Said, Bardawil Lagoon, El Arish, Gaza, Ashkalon, and Tel Aviv to the Bay of Haifa. This littoral cell forms the eastern corner of the Levantine Basin (Figure 1.1). This entire coastline, including the coastline of the Gaza Strip, has been shaped over by the sedimentation of the Nile River. Figure 1.1. Gaza Coastline in the Mediterranean Context Beach constructions as roads, restaurants, hotels and other buildings have been constructed, very close to and even right on the active part of the shore, thereby constraining the range of free space needed for the seawater dynamics. Recently after the construction of the fishing Port increased the need to protect the coastal zone of Gaza strip. 1 The coastal erosion is anther threat to the coastal zone. The flooding of ‘Wadi’ Gaza when happens may be increased the erosion rate and therefore effects the structure and the biodiversty of the coast. Constructions between Rafah at the southern border, and Gaza City there are no major coastal structures, which makes the biodiversity are little threatened. The coastline is sandy in most of the areas forming dunes particularly in the southern part. Kurkar cliffs are found between the mouth of ‘Wadi’ Gaza a Dier Elbalah.

  • BUILDING a SUSTAINABLE and SMART URBAN DEVELOPMENT MODEL BASED on TRANSIT ORIENTED DEVELOPMENT (TOD) GAZA CITY (Implementation Area)
    The Islamic University – Gaza Deanery of Postgraduate Studies Faculty of Engineering Architecture Department BUILDING A SUSTAINABLE AND SMART URBAN DEVELOPMENT MODEL BASED ON TRANSIT ORIENTED DEVELOPMENT (TOD) GAZA CITY (Implementation Area) By Shaymaa Ali Maher/ Abdela'al Abu Rass Supervisor Dr. Farid Sobeh Al-Qeeq A Thesis Submitted in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree of Master in Architectural Engineering 2012- 1433 ABSTRACT ABSTRACT Gaza city suffers from unclear and unstable situation. Also, there is a growing concern about many social, economic, physical, environmental and urban problems that have been attributed to many circumstances. Therefore, an exhaustive development process has to be implemented and significant efforts have to be made toward reforming sustainable development. Gaza city is taken as study area to model a new pattern of sustainable urban developmental planning, which supports land use, transportation planning, environment and all fields of growth management. While more empirical evidence is needed to verify cause and effect, and while all urban and technological aspects turn to reshape the starting point in planning process, Transit Oriented Development (TOD) is seen as efficient and energetic trend to resolve the existing hard situations and actualize sustainable urban developmental planning. The thesis defines indicators, strategic transactions and scenarios that support the approach and help decision makers to identify priorities and develop quality of live. Also, it encourages community and stakeholders collaboration in developmental process. Besides, it explores new points for future development suggestions for further researches. The approach toward smart and sustainable urban development, and Transit Oriented Development that presented in this study is different from a transportation planning that envisions a comprehensive and complete plan as the final product of the process.

El-Hallaq A Thesis submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirement for Degree of Master of Science in Civil Engineering – Infrastructure Engineering 1433 ﻫـ - 2012 ﻡ DEDICATION To My Beloved Parents My Best Friends My Brothers My Wife And My Sons I ABSTRACT Changes in Land Use and Land Cover (LULC) in Gaza City are very normal and dynamic as a result of human use of the land and his surrounding environment. By the coming of Palestinian Authority in 1994 and the continuous population growth in Gaza, the City has witnessed many evolutions in different fields which cause many changes on the land use. The goal of this study is to detect and analyze the changes in LULC in Gaza City within the period from 1999 to 2007 by using GIS technology which has been chosen depending on available data and maps. The lands have been divided to four major categories; built up areas, green lands, wet lands, and dry lands. Actually GIS is the most useful, powerful and advanced tool in dealing with databases either in connecting database, processing, analyzing, or its ability to develop and update. The study is able to describe the location of all changes in LULC and estimate the areas of those changes in all four categories of LULC.

The reservoir was about 800 meters from the separation fence between Gaza Strip and Israel. The shelling injured 11 Palestinian civilians, including four women and two children. On 10 November 2012, Palestinian fighters fired an anti-tank rocket at an Israeli military jeep, reportedly injuring four Israeli soldiers. The IOF responded immediately by firing artillery shells on a crowd of Palestinian civilians in a wake tent in the east of Gaza City. When the people in the area, including several children who were playing football in a nearby field, went to help the wounded, the IOF fired an artillery shell into the crowd, killing and injuring dozens.2 Hostilities escalated since then and the IOF and by 11 November, the IOF had killed Seven Palestinians; three Children; and Injured 54, including 12 Children.3 On 12 November 2012, a truce was informally announced, but not confirmed.
