Google Maps has recently updated its maps of Gaza, reflecting major changes in the area over the past few hours. The updated maps show that locations previously marked as neighborhoods, schools, shops, and homes are now covered in rubble. These changes highlight the extensive damage the region has experienced. According to the United Nations, 80 percent of Gaza has been either destroyed or damaged as a result of Israeli airstrikes that followed the terrorist attacks on October 7. This level of destruction has drastically altered the landscape of the area, with many places no longer recognizable from previous maps. On September 27, Google Earth also updated its satellite imagery of the southern part of the Gaza Strip. The new images, which are freely available to the public, show the near-total destruction of several former residential areas. One of the most affected areas is the city of Rafah, where much of the infrastructure has been severely damaged or completely destroyed. The updates from both Google Maps and Google Earth provide a visual representation of the scale of destruction in Gaza. These images serve as a stark reminder of the impact of the ongoing conflict on the region’s population and its physical environment.
