State of Palestine - GLIDE Disaster Events

Palestinian disaster events registered with GLIDE numbers, which are global unique identifiers for disasters. The dataset is provided by the GLIDE Initiative and was last updated in June 2026. It aims to make disaster information interoperable across sources like UN-OCHA, UNDRR, and IFRC.

Use Cases

• Cross-reference disaster events across different humanitarian information systems based on the GLIDE number.
• Map disaster locations and types in the State of Palestine based on the geospatial data format.
• Analyze disaster frequency and impact in the region using the structured event records.

Strengths

• Uses a globally recognized identifier (GLIDE number) adopted by major institutions like UN-OCHA and IFRC.
• Available in multiple formats (GEOJSON, CSV) for different analytical needs.
• Published under an open license (CC-BY-3.0-IGO).

Limitations

• Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download.
• Row count is unknown, which may limit suitability assessment.
• Data may reflect geographic bias inherent to the hdx platform.
