Geneva: Some 55 percent of all structures in the Gaza Strip have been destroyed, damaged or possibly damaged since war erupted in the Palestinian territory eight months ago, according to preliminary satellite analysis by the UN.
The analysis showed more than 137,000 buildings affected, UNOSAT, the United Nations satellite analysis agency, said on X, formerly Twitter.
The estimate is based on a satellite image taken on May 3, and compared with images taken in May a year earlier, last September, and on October 15.
The fresh satellite image was also compared to images taken during several dates in November, then again during the first months of this year, UNOSAT said.
"According to satellite imagery analysis, UNOSAT identified 36,591 destroyed structures," the agency said in a statement.
