Photos show Gaza building boom

Peace Now says latest set of aerial photos reveals construction drive in areas slated for evacuation

<snip>

"Gaza Strip settlements slated for evacuation are in the midst of a construction boom, aerial photos taken on behalf the Peace Now movement show
The investment of millions of shekels in communities facing evacuation in the coming months is a scandal, Peace Now Secretary General Yariv Oppenheimer says."

<snip>

"Peace Now takes aerial photographs of Gaza Strip and West Bank settlements every four months, and compares the pictures to previous photos. The movement says it was surprised to discover that a construction drive is continuing in Gush Katif despite government and Knesset decisions to remove the settlements there."

<snip>

"Gaza Shore Regional Council officials, however, say Peace Now's accusations make them proud.
"We are grateful to Peace Now, which spends huge sums of money on documenting construction in the settlements," Council spokesman Eran Sternberg said. "They are collecting materials that we can make great use of in the future, when we have to tell the brave story of Gush Katif"
