UNHCR and Google Earth
The Office of the UN High Commissioner for Refugees (UNHCR) has announced a new UNHCR and Google Earth initiative "Google Earth Outreach" that was launched in Geneva on 8 April 2008. The programme gives the humanitarian agencies an opportunity to virtually zoom in on specific refugee situations and provides a tool for a close-up view of some of the major displacement crises and humanitarian efforts. Currently the programme is focused on Chad/Darfur, Colombia and Iraq with plans to expand further. According to UNHCR technical experts, the Google Earth programme, as it grows "will allow UNHCR and its humanitarian partners to build and share with each other a visual, geographic record of their joint efforts on the ground to help refugees".
