To: UN High Commissioner for
Refugees (UNHCR)

Dear UNHCR,

We are pleased to know
that UNHCR launched its '
Google Earth Refugee World' layer to take Google
Earth users on a virtual reality tour with the UN
refugee agency of some of the world's major
displacement crises and the humanitarian
efforts aimed at helping the victims.

However, we are disappointed to see that Palestinian
refugee camps in the Occupied Palestinian Territories
were not shown anywhere.

UN-Google Earth Map': http://tinyurl.com/4jnpoy

We are sure that this is an oversight on UNHCR's part,
but 27 Palestinian refugee camps that exist in the Occupied
Territories are not shown on your new Google Earth Refugee
World layer. Over one million people live in these camps.
Do you not believe that they are living under most inhumane
conditions and should be mentioned on UNHCR's 'Google
Earth Refugee World' like all other refugees?

Please correct your listings to include these camps.
They DO EXIST and they MUST be known about.

Sincerely,

For Petition see here
