55 percent of the houses, shops and various structures have been destroyed and damaged by Israel’s indiscriminate attack on Gaza, Palestine, which has been going on for about eight months. The United Nations gave this information based on the preliminary analysis of satellite images.

The United Nations satellite image analysis agency UNOSAT said in a statement on social media X that satellite images show that more than 137,000 buildings have been attacked.

This estimate has been published on the basis of images captured by satellite yesterday Monday. This estimate of damage was published by comparing the images taken in September and October 15 last year.

On October 7, the Palestinian independence organization Hamas launched a sudden attack on Israel. In response, the Israeli forces launched an all-out attack on the besieged Gaza Strip from that day.

Satellite imagery identified 36,591 completely destroyed structures, UNOSAT said in a statement. 16 thousand 513 infrastructures have been severely damaged. 47 thousand 368 structures have suffered light damage. Apart from this, another 36 thousand 825 infrastructures have been more or less damaged. Deir al-Balah in central Gaza and northern Gaza were the worst affected.

Meanwhile, the Palestinian Authority has declared the Jabalia and Beit Hanun areas of northern Gaza as ‘disaster’. The announcement was made last Sunday, according to Naji Sarhan, head of the emergency services committee of northern Gaza.

Sarhan said that Jabalia refugee camp and Beit Hanoun town are now disaster areas. He called on the United Nations and other international organizations to immediately intervene in the delivery of relief to the Gaza Strip.

According to the Gaza Information Office, 3,500 children under the age of five are at risk of death due to hunger. These children are suffering from severe malnutrition due to lack of food. Apart from this, these children could not be brought under the immunization program.

Al-Jazeera reports that Israel has continued to attack Gaza amid national and international pressure over a ceasefire and prisoner exchange agreement. At least 22 people were killed in attacks by Israeli forces in central Gaza and Rafah.

Gaza’s health ministry said yesterday that 40 more Palestinians were killed in Israeli attacks in the past 24 hours. 150 people were injured. Since October 7, 36,479 Palestinians have been killed in Israel’s indiscriminate attacks. 82 thousand 777 people were injured.
