The United Nations reported that almost two-thirds of buildings in the Gaza Strip have been either damaged or destroyed since the onset of the Israeli war on Gaza on October 7. The UN Satellite Center stressed, "UNOSAT's latest damage building assessment, based on satellite imagery... reveals that 151,265 structures have been affected in the Gaza Strip." The evaluation was conducted by comparing images from May 2023 with those taken on July 6 of this year. Additionally, UNOSAT reported that the Israeli war has produced approximately 41.95 million metric tonnes of rubble in Gaza. The current debris figure represents an 83% increase from the nearly 23 million tonnes estimated on January 7, 2024. According to UNOSAT, the Israeli war has produced 14 times more debris than all previous Israeli aggressions in the Palestinian territory since 2008. The agency estimated that each square meter of the Gaza Strip has generated about 114 kilograms (250 pounds) of debris.
