We are pleased to announce new layers in Google Earth.

USHMM: Crisis in Darfur - by the US Holocaust Memorial Museum in collaboration with Amnesty International, Physicians for Human Rights, the US State Department and other humanitarian organizations. This set of layers depicts the humanitarian crisis unfolding in Darfur, Sudan, by showing the damaged and destroyed villages, documentary photos and video, with a link to a more comprehensive KML and information on the Museum's website. The Darfur layers are in the "Global Awareness" folder, and are turned on by default.
