Satellite imagery and data analysis by various organizations, including the United Nations and The Economist, estimate that a significant portion of infrastructure and buildings in Gaza have been destroyed due to the ongoing conflict. The destruction is reported to be extensive, with estimates of at least 18% of infrastructure and 15% of buildings being damaged, leaving approximately 429,000 people without homes to return to when the fighting ends. These assessments are based on comparisons of satellite images taken before and after the war, and the data is being regularly updated for further analysis.
