Drygt hälften av alla byggnader på Gazaremsan har förstörts eller skadats sedan kriget bröt ut i oktober, enligt en preliminär satellitanalys gjord av FN. Unosat, FN:s satellitanalysorgan, skriver på plattformen X (Twitter) att fler än 137 000 byggnader i olika grad har skadats.

Unosat har jämfört satellitbilder från den 3 maj i år med bilder från maj, september och oktober förra året. Bilderna från oktober togs en vecka efter terrorstämplade Hamas terrordåd mot en musikfestival och kibbutzer i Israel, vilket blev startskottet för det senaste kriget mellan Israel och Hamas. Även bilder från november förra året och under de första månaderna i år har jämförts.

Totalt rör det sig nu om cirka 55 procent av alla byggnader på Gazaremsan. Unosat understryker att resultaten är preliminära.
