    Hammana is not in Alayh district
  • Bass Ramy (guest)
    Hammana is in baabad district, and her borders are unjustly expanded in this map taking about 30% more land from Falougha village, the peoplse responsible of this wikimapia project should revise their hammana bouderies to make it more accurate and realistic or else they will lose credibility.
