The United Nations Satellite Centre (UNOSAT) has released its ninth update on the damage to buildings in the Gaza Strip due to the brutal Israeli aggression on Gaza. According to the analysis, based on high-resolution satellite imagery collected on September 3 and 6, 2024, two-thirds of all structures in the Gaza Strip have sustained damage.

By comparing recent imagery with earlier data, UNOSAT has provided a comprehensive overview of the destruction's evolution. The report indicated that 66% of the structures, totaling 163,778, have been affected. This included 52,564 buildings that have been destroyed, 18,913 severely damaged, 35,591 possibly damaged, and 56,710 moderately impacted.

The Gaza governorate is the most severely affected area, with 46,370 structures impacted. Notably, Gaza City has suffered significantly, with 36,611 structures destroyed.

In addition to building assessments, UNOSAT, in collaboration with the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (FAO), reported a significant decline in the health and density of cropland in the Gaza Strip, with approximately 68% of permanent crop fields showing deterioration in September 2024.

The satellite imagery analyses conducted by UNOSAT document widespread destruction and underscore the urgent need for support among the affected population.

“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,” remarked Nikhil Seth, UNITAR’s executive director.

“Our objective analyses have been vital for humanitarian response efforts and improving the global community's understanding of the conflict's impact on civilian infrastructure,” Seth added.
