Satellite analysis reveals destruction of 2,500 buildings in Gaza after ceasefire

An analysis of satellite images published by the US newspaper The New York Times has revealed widespread destruction in the Gaza Strip since the ceasefire came into effect. The images show that more than 2,500 buildings were destroyed as part of large-scale demolition operations carried out by the Israeli occupation army.

The images show entire neighbourhoods flattened, along with the destruction of large areas of farmland in different parts of Gaza. This reflects the scale of damage to infrastructure, residential areas and agricultural land during the period following the ceasefire.

The analysis provides visual evidence of the wide impact of attacks by the Israeli occupation army. It highlights the serious humanitarian challenges facing Gaza’s residents, especially efforts to rebuild and restore normal life amid massive destruction and a severe lack of resources.

The death toll from the Israeli offensive on Gaza has risen to 71,412 people killed and 171,314 injured since 7 October 2023. A number of victims are still believed to be trapped under the rubble or lying in the streets.

Since the ceasefire came into force on 10 October last year, 442 people have been killed and 1,236 injured. During this period, 688 bodies were recovered.
