Summary

Newly updated Google Earth satellite imagery documents extensive devastation throughout the Gaza Strip, illustrating the impact of Israeli military operations. The visuals show that approximately 82 percent of buildings across the region have been damaged or destroyed, with residential areas, schools, and medical facilities reduced to rubble. Specific areas highlighted in the imagery include significant wreckage in Gaza City, particularly at the Al Shifa Hospital site, as well as widespread ruin in Rafah and Khan Yunis. While the UN and other international observers have called for investigations into the destruction, Israel has rejected allegations of war crimes.
