New Google Earth Satellite Images Show Scale of Gaza Destruction
Updated satellite images show 82% of Gaza structures damaged as health officials say more than 74,000 Palestinians have been killed.
- Updated Google Earth satellite images appeared online Sunday, revealing vast areas of Gaza reduced to rubble, including the southern city of Rafah and the area around Al Shifa Hospital.
- The devastation reflects the scale of the war in Gaza, which began after the Hamas-led attacks on southern Israel on October 7, 2023, with the UN Satellite Centre reporting 82 per cent of structures damaged.
- Gaza's health ministry reports that Israel's military offensive has killed more than 74,000 Palestinians, with 175,068 wounded; journalist Abubaker Abed described the imagery as "truly unfathomable."
- Charity Medical Aid for Palestinians called the maps "a reminder of the international community's failure to protect Palestinians," while Scottish Greens co-leader Gillian Mackay urged action against "the horrifying scale of Israel's genocide."
- Former Labour leader Jeremy Corbyn told The National the images "should be used as evidence for crimes against humanity," calling for justice for the Palestinian people.
