WAM

About two-thirds of buildings in the Gaza Strip have been damaged due to the ongoing Israeli aggression on the Strip for 10 months, based on satellite images.

The United Nations Satellite Analysis Agency (UNOSAT) revealed this information. 

UNOSAT stated in a statement that its latest damage assessments reveal that 151,265 buildings in the Strip have been damaged.

These statistics are based on images taken on July 6 and compared with previous images taken in May 2023.

It explained that 30% of the buildings were completely destroyed, 12 per cent were seriously damaged, 36 per cent were moderately damaged, and 20 per cent were likely damaged, stressing that these facts confirm that about 63 per cent of all buildings in Gaza have been damaged, with 114 kilograms of rubble per square meter in the Strip.

The United Nations had previously estimated that removing the rubble from the Gaza Strip after the end of the war would take about 15 years, assuming the use of 100 trucks per day.
