New Google Earth Satellite Images Show Scale of Gaza Destruction
Satellite images show entire Gaza neighborhoods reduced to rubble as health officials say Palestinian deaths have surpassed 74,000.

- 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.
