TL;DR Summary

Satellite imagery researchers from the Decentralized Damage Mapping Group have found that Israel's 47-day bombardment has left Gaza in ruins, with at least 56,000 buildings damaged or destroyed. The researchers use open data and satellite radar technology to track and map the damage, providing consistent and transparent assessments. The images show a rapid expansion of damage, particularly in northern Gaza, and the researchers expect the damage to increase as the conflict continues. The use of open access satellite images allows for a better understanding and comparison of conflicts, providing insights that may not be captured by commercial imagery.
