| Protection of Civilians Weekly Report 7-13 September 2011 Fri, 16 Sep 2011 18:27:23 +0000 Source: UN Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs Country: occupied Palestinian territory Key issues Israeli settler violence is on the rise, increasing the risk of displacement of Palestinian communities. This week, the residential tent of one family was burnt, eight people were physically assaulted, and at least 390 trees were uprooted or set on fire. Most attacks were perpetrated in the context of the ?price tag? strategy, by which radical settlers try to deter the Israeli authorities from evacuating unauthorized settlement outposts. The Israeli authorities resumed demolitions this week, following a six week lull. In the northern West Bank, the Israeli authorities demolished six water wells used for irrigation, which were reportedly dug without authorization, undermining the livelihoods of 160 families. Majority of the wells were located in Area B, where planning and zoning powers are held by the Palestinian Authority. Since the beginning of the 2011, Israel demolished 39 water-related structures in the West Bank. |

 Update 2:Overview of Flood Waters In Lower Sindh Province, Pakistan UNOSAT 16 Sep 2011 3:25:41 PM This map presents the standing flood waters over the affected Provinces of Lower Sindh, Pakistan following recent heavy monsoon rains. This analysis indicates that flood waters have continued to expand in surface area over the four days, concentrated primary in the districts of Mirpur Khas and Umer kot. These findings were based on crisis satellite imagery collected by MODIS sensors on 15 Sept.,11 Sept. and 19 Aug. 2011. Please note that the exact limit of the flood waters is uncertain because of the relatively low spatial resolution of the satellite sensors used for this analysis, Detected water bodies likely reflect an underestimation of all flood-affected areas within the map extent. This analysis has not yet been validated in the field. Please send ground feedback to UNITAR / UNOSAT.Map produced for A3 printing at 1:900,000 scale.Satellite Data(1) : MODIS Terra Imagery Dates: 15 September 2011 Resolution : 250 m Satellite Data(2) : MODIS Terra Imagery Dates: 11 September 2011 Resolution : 250 m Sourcet: NASA Rapid Response Satellite Data(3) : MODIS Aqua Imagery Dates: 19 August 2011 Resolution : 250 m Sourcet: NASA Rapid Response Road Data : Google Map Maker 2011 Canal, Settlement Data: NGA (VMap1) Other Data: OCHA, USGS Analysis & Production : UNITAR / UNOSAT Analysis conducted with ArcGIS v10 This work by UNITAR/UNOSAT is licensed under a Creative Commons Attribution-NonCommercial-ShareAlike 3.0 Unported License. |
