Overview

In 2011, a total of 278 LRA attacks were reported as compared to 306 in 2010. The Democratic Republic of the Congo (DRC) continued to report a higher number of attacks (229) than in 2010, while CAR reported a reduction in the number of attacks and South Sudan remained the same.

The last quarter of 2011 saw fewer incidents, except for DRC, which reported 32 attacks and CAR 26 abductions. During that period, the number of abductions also decreased by 56% to 302 from 680 in 2010, including 93 children.

The number of LRA-induced displacements in 2011 is estimated at more than 465,000 civilians living either as IDPs or refugees in the LRA-affected areas.

KEY FACTS

  • Almost 1,100 Palestinians, over half children, were displaced due to home demolitions by Israeli forces in 2011, over 80% more than in 2010.

  • 4,200 additional people were affected by the demolition of structures related to their livelihoods.

  • Israeli forces destroyed 622 structures owned by Palestinians, a 42% increase compared to 2010. This included 222 homes, 170 animal shelters, two classrooms and two mosques (one twice).

  • The number of rainwater cisterns and pools destroyed in 2011 (46), was more than double last year (21), with tens of other related structures vulnerable to future demolition.

  • Most demolitions (90%) and displacement (92%) occurred in already vulnerable farming and herding communities in Area C; thousands of others remain at-risk of displacement due to outstanding demolition orders.

  • In East Jerusalem, there was a significant decrease compared to previous years, with 42 structures demolished*. However, at least 93,100 residents, who live in structures built without a permit, remain at risk of displacement.

  • Over 60% of the Palestinian-owned structures demolished in 2011 were located in areas allocated to settlements.

  • 70% of Area C is off-limits for Palestinian construction, allocated instead for Israeli settlements or the Israeli military; an additional 29% is heavily restricted.

  • Only 13% of East Jerusalem is zoned for Palestinian construction ? much of which is already built up, compared with 35%, which has been expropriated and zoned for the use of Israeli settlements.

  • Ten out of 13 communities visited by OCHA in Area C reported that families are being displaced because Israeli policies make it difficult for them to meet basic needs. The inability to build was one of the main triggers for this displacement.

Mozambique: Mozambique - Maputo/Gaza Flood as of January 25, 2012- Disaster Extent Overview Thu, 26 Jan 2012 01:38:45 +0000

On January 16, 2012, Mozambique's coast was hit by the tropical depression "Dando" followed by cyclone "Funso". With wind speeds up to 220 km/h and torrential rains the storms have caused severe damages and floods.
This map shows the open inland water extent in the coastal areas of the provinces of Maputo and Gaza. The open water was detected by semi-automatic analysis of Radarsat-2 data acquired on January 25, 2012. The normal water level was derived by combining SRTM Water Body Data (SWBD) with manually extracted water features as seen on Landsat-7 ETM+ data. Please note that due to radar sensor characteristics the flood extent might be underestimated in areas with flood waters beneath vegetation.
Landsat-7 ETM+ imagery acquired on October 1?, 2002 and May 29, 2003 overlayed on hillshaded SRTM elevation data serves as backdrop.
