SAEDNEWS: Satellite images and eyewitness reports reveal Gaza City’s neighborhoods leveled, thousands displaced, and infrastructure destroyed, showing the immense human and cultural toll of the ongoing conflict.
According to Saed News; Israel’s assault on Gaza City has left vast swathes of the city flattened, with high-rise towers, homes, hospitals, and schools reduced to rubble. In recent weeks, Palestinian Civil Defence reported that at least 50 multistorey buildings have been destroyed, forcing thousands of residents to flee their homes.
The devastation is widespread. In the Zeitoun neighborhood alone, more than 1,500 homes and buildings have been demolished since early August. Sabra, Shujayea, and Tuffah have similarly faced near-total destruction, leaving residents displaced and struggling to find shelter.
Residents attempting to move south face perilous conditions. Salah al-Din Street is sealed off by snipers, while al-Rashid Street is overcrowded with displaced families in tents, making movement deadly. Even the “humanitarian zone” in southern al-Mawasi offers no safety.
Remal neighborhood, home to key landmarks including al-Shifa Hospital, Gaza’s largest medical facility, and UN compounds, has been heavily damaged. University campuses—Islamic University of Gaza, Al-Azhar University-Gaza, and Al-Aqsa University—have all suffered attacks, leaving students displaced and education interrupted.
Recent satellite images show entire neighborhoods erased. Sheikh Radwan, once bustling with markets and narrow streets, has been hit by air strikes and tank movements. Tuffah, previously vibrant with schools and community centers, now lies in rubble.
The destruction has worsened an already dire humanitarian situation. Beit Lahiya and Beit Hanoon in North Gaza face extreme food insecurity, and the Integrated Food Security Phase Classification declared famine conditions in the north. With southern areas expected to face similar challenges, hundreds of thousands of people are at risk.
Jabalia, Gaza’s largest refugee camp, established in 1948, has also been targeted repeatedly. Once home to UN-run schools now converted to shelters, the camp exemplifies the plight of civilians trapped in ongoing conflict.
From the destruction of homes and markets to schools and places of worship, Gaza City today bears little resemblance to its former self. The images and reports tell a story of displacement, loss, and resilience, as families struggle to survive amid continuing bombardment.
