An update to Google Maps has revealed the extent of devastation in Gaza following nearly three years of war, offering a fresh look at the humanitarian crisis still facing the territory's 2.3 million residents.
The satellite images, taken in June this year, show further destruction of homes, businesses, places of worship and infrastructure that has occurred since a fragile ceasefire took effect almost 12 months ago.
The updated imagery provides one of the clearest visual records yet of how widespread the damage across Gaza has become, documenting losses across residential and civilian infrastructure throughout the territory.
Despite the ceasefire holding for nearly a year, the scale of destruction captured in the new images underscores the scope of reconstruction that will be required to address housing, business and community needs for Gaza's population.
