This map illustrates a satellite-detected damage and destruction to buildings within the area of interest in the Gaza Governorate, Gaza Strip, based on an image collected on 10 October 2023 (partially clouded) when compared to an image collected on 10 May 2023.
According to satellite imagery analysis, UNOSAT identified 228 destroyed structure, 148 severely damaged structures and 365 moderately damaged structures, for a total of 741 buildings.
The two most affected areas appear to be between Southern Remal and As Sabra neighborhoods (inset 1), and on the western outskirt of the Old City, north of At Turukman neighborhood. Among the affected structures, UNOSAT identified two schools compounds, namely the Omar Bin Abd Alaz school (destroyed, see inset 2) and the Alfaraby school (moderately damaged). This is a preliminary analysis and has not yet been validated in the field.
