GENEVA: Two-thirds of the buildings in the Gaza Strip have been damaged or destroyed since the Gaza
GENEVA: Two-thirds of the buildings in the Gaza Strip have been damaged or destroyed since the Gaza conflict began in October 2023, the United Nations said on Monday. Updating its damage assessment, the UN Satellite Centre (UNOSAT) said very high-resolution imagery collected on September 3 and 6 showed a clear deterioration. “This analysis... shows that two-thirds of the total structures in the Gaza Strip have sustained damage,” UNOSAT said. “Those 66 per cent of damaged buildings in the Gaza Strip account for 163,778 structures in total,” it said. The last assessment, based on images from early July, determined that 63pc of structures in the Palestinian territory had been damaged. Monday’s update said the damage now included “52,564 structures that have been destroyed; 18,913 severely damaged; 35,591 possibly damaged structures; and 56,710 moderately affected”. Gaza City has been notably affected, with 36,611 structures destroyed, it added. UNOSAT and the UN’s Food and Agriculture Organisation said that approximately 68pc of the permanent crop fields in the Gaza Strip showed “a significant decline in health and density” in September. Part of the UN Institute for Training and Research (UNITAR), Geneva-based UNOSAT says its satellite imagery analysis helps the humanitarian community assess the extent of conflict-related damage and helps shape emergency relief efforts. “Over the past year, UNOSAT’s team has worked tirelessly to provide the world with precise and timely insights into the impact of the conflict on buildings and infrastructure in Gaza,” said UNITAR’s executive director Nikhil Seth.
