The Municipality of Gaza is in the Gaza Strip. It is governed in civil matters
by the Palestinian Authority. The flag consists of a plain field with the
municipal shield in the center. The shield is red-green diagonal checks with
a stylized Phoenix bird in the center. The bird represents the multiple
rebirths of Gaza on the same site over the past 5,000 years.
The flag has no defined background color. This example has a white field.
Others exist with light blue and light yellow backgrounds. Most are approximately
1 m x 1.5 m although this example is approximately A4 size.
