Google satellite images of Gaza
New satellite images from Google Earth reveal the immense scale of destruction in Gaza resulting from the Israeli war. Large areas of the Gaza Strip, which covers 141 square miles and is one of the most densely populated regions in the world, have been turned to rubble, with most buildings, healthcare facilities, educational institutions, and residential structures destroyed. It is estimated that approximately 82% of buildings have been damaged or destroyed, and there has been a significant decline in the agricultural and industrial sectors, with activities dropping by 94%. Additionally, estimates indicate there are around 60 million tons of debris, and clearing this debris could take a decade unless sufficient resources are provided. UN reports confirm that Gaza is facing its worst economic crisis in history, with unemployment reaching up to 90%, and the per capita Gross Domestic Product dropping to $212 annually. About 90% of hospitals have been damaged, while most residents remain homeless, many relying on the ruins of demolished buildings. The number of unidentified bodies continues to rise due to the difficulty of DNA identification. Experts and international organizations are calling for the protection of crime evidence and the prevention of tampering with it through debris removal operations, which could hinder investigations and documentation of human rights violations.
