UN : Satellite Surveillance Shows 63 pct of Gaza Buildings Damaged

United Nations – The latest UN analysis of satellite surveillance covering the Gaza Strip showed 63 percent of structures in Gaza have been damaged, because of the ongoing zionist aggression.

The UN Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs (OCHA) said the UN Satellite Centre analyzed data collected a month ago.

OCHA said bombardments and hostilities in Gaza continue to kill, injure and displace Palestinians, damaging and destroying homes and infrastructure.

“In just the past 48 hours, three schools sheltering displaced people in Gaza City were reportedly hit, resulting in dozens of casualties, according to Palestinian civil defense,” OCHA said. “Partners on the ground are assessing the needs of people who fled and have been providing assistance.”

The office said the zionist military issued a new evacuation order for people living in areas of southern Khan Younis and northern Rafah to move westwards to Al Mawasi immediately. Humanitarian partners tracking population movements in Gaza estimated that more than 11,000 people live in the areas affected by this evacuation order.

OCHA said that as the aggression continues, the humanitarian crisis in Gaza deepens especially that the nutrition conditions are worsening due to access constraints, shortages in essential supplies, limited availability of fresh produce and meat, poor water and sanitation services and spreading disease.
