Recent analysis by BBC Verify has revealed that a significant portion of the Gaza Strip's infrastructure has been severely impacted following Israel's military response to the Hamas attacks on 7 October. Reports indicate that between 50-61% of buildings in Gaza have been damaged or destroyed, with The Guardian's satellite data and open-source evidence confirming the extensive level of destruction. Additionally, it is estimated that 80% of Gaza's population has been displaced due to the conflict. Various sources, including BBC News and The Guardian, have contributed to the verification of these figures, highlighting the scale of the devastation.

Between 50-61% of buildings in the Gaza Strip have been damaged or destroyed, and 80% of the population has been displaced. Israel's response to the 7 October atrocities has been disproportionate. I don't think there can be any serious dispute about that. https://t.co/bs8F2oFAEy
