A tool for picturing scale.
Gaza is small. It is difficult to imagine how anywhere inside it could be a "safe zone." This site lets you pick Gaza up and place it over a place you already know, so the geography can speak for itself.
It is not a campaign, a petition, or a news feed. It shows the area of Gaza, a few sourced figures, and where to give. Nothing more.
