Nearly 100,000 Gaza buildings may be damaged, satellite images show
Satellite images commissioned by the BBC reveal the extent of destruction across Gaza, show that nearly 98,000 buildings may have suffered damage.
The satellite images were taken last Thursday – before the start of a seven-day suspension of hostilities, which has now ended.
Drone footage and verified video also show buildings and entire neighbourhoods reduced to rubble after Israeli air strikes and on-the-ground fighting.
While northern Gaza has been the focus of the Israeli offensive and has borne the brunt of the destruction, widespread damage extends across the entire strip.
Analysis of the data was carried out by Corey Scher of City University of New York Graduate Center and Jamon Van Den Hoek of Oregon State University.
