Israel-Gaza: Why is the region blurry on Google Maps?
Images of Gaza on Google Earth are of poor resolution
Why is Gaza, one of the most densely populated places in the world, blurry on Google Maps?
It's an issue that has been highlighted by researchers using open-source, publicly available information - including mapping data - to locate attacks and document the destruction.
In fact, much of both Israel and the Palestinian territories appear on Google Earth as low-resolution satellite imagery, even though higher-quality images are available from satellite companies.
It's barely possible to see the cars in Gaza City.
Compare that with Pyongyang, the secretive capital of North Korea, where the cars are sharply defined and it's possible to make out individual people.

while some Israeli regions may be blurred to protect military secrets of the IDF it is safe for us to say Google is not blurring Gaza to protect military secrets of Hamas from the Israelis, Google is blurring Gaza to hide the extent of destruction to help Israel in it's quest of ethnic cleansing.

High-resolution images of Israel and Gaza are available, so why not via public mapping tools?
