The United Nations Satellite Center (UNOSAT) has released its latest update on the scale of damage caused by Israeli atrocities in the besieged Gaza Strip.

The new analysis, based on very high-resolution satellite imagery showed that two thirds of the structures in Gaza have sustained damage as a result of the relentless Israeli bombings.
 
UNOSAT compared imagery captured on 3 and 6 September 2024 with previous data, providing a comprehensive view of the evolution of the destruction.
 
Those 66% of damaged buildings in the Gaza Strip account for 163,778 structures in total. This includes 52,564 structures that have been destroyed, 18,913 severely damaged, 35,591 possibly damaged structures and 56,710 moderately affected.
 
The most impacted region overall is the Gaza governorate, with 46,370 structures impacted. Gaza City has been notably affected, with 36,611 structures destroyed.
 
UNOSAT, in collaboration with the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (FAO), has also released an update on the health and density of cropland in the Gaza Strip.
 
Approximately 68% of the permanent crop fields in the Gaza Strip exhibited a significant decline in health and density in September 2024.
 
The satellite imagery-based analyses conducted by UNOSAT document the widespread destruction and highlight the affected population’s need for support.
