Nearly eight months into the Israeli onslaught, vast tracts of Gaza lay in ruins amid Israel’s crippling blockade of food, clean water, and medicine.
About 55 percent of all structures in Gaza have been destroyed, damaged or possibly damaged by the war, according to a preliminary satellite analysis carried out by the United Nations Satellite Centre (UNSOAT).
The analysis, which surveyed 137,000 buildings in the enclave, found:
36,591 destroyed structures
16,513 severely damaged structures
47,368 moderately damaged structures
36,825 possibly damaged structures
Central Gaza’s Deir el-Balah and northern Gaza’s Gaza City experienced the worst damage between April 1 and May 3, said UNOSAT.
The death toll in Israel from Hamas’s attacks on 7 October is at least 1,139 with dozens of people still held captive in Gaza.
