Gaza in Ruins: Widespread Destruction and Humanitarian Challenges

Nearly 60% of Gaza has been damaged or destroyed following a year of conflict, with reports indicating that two-thirds of the structures in the region are now rendered uninhabitable. The extensive devastation includes the destruction of 79% of mosques and three churches, as outlined by local authorities. Geospatial data highlights severe damage to agricultural lands, with significant impacts on crop yields, particularly the date harvest, which is vital to the local economy. Amid the rubble, the challenges of rebuilding are compounded by serious health risks and the psychological toll on the population. Farmers describe the destruction as part of a deliberate campaign to induce starvation. Calls for accountability against Israel for these actions continue to grow, with the United Nations documenting the scale of the humanitarian crisis and the urgent need for international intervention.
