UN says 81 percent of Gaza’s buildings destroyed in war on enclave

The United Nations says more than four-fifths of all buildings in Gaza have been damaged or destroyed by Israel’s relentless bombardment.

Citing satellite data, the UN secretary general’s deputy spokesperson confirmed that 81 percent of the enclave’s structures have suffered destruction, underscoring the catastrophic scale of Israel’s assault on the enclave, which has been recognised as a genocide by the UN.

Entire neighbourhoods across Gaza have been reduced to rubble, leaving families displaced and essential infrastructure obliterated.
