Title
UNOSAT Deir Al-Balah Comprehensive Damage Assessment - Gaza Strip - 21 October 2023
Description
**UNOSAT code CE20231007PSE** UNOSAT conducted a satellite-imagery based comprehensive damage assessment to detected damage and destruction to structures within the area of interest in the Deir Al-Balah Governorate, Gaza Strip, using an image collected on 21 October 2023 and compared it to an image collected on 15 October 2023. According to the satellite imagery analysis, UNOSAT identified a total of 197 destroyed structures, 143 severely damaged structures, and 435 moderately damaged structures, for a total of 775 affected structures as of 21 October 2023. This corresponds to less than 2% of the total structures in the Deir Al-Balah Governorate. The most affected area appears to be the Al Bureij Camp neighborhood, where the number of damaged structures per square kilometer is the highest, followed by the Al Awda neighborhood. Among the newly affected structures, UNOSAT identified a mosque, namely the Al-Salam Mosque, visibly destroyed. Additionally, UNOSAT identified 42 affected road sections, either by impact craters or by debris. This is a preliminary analysis and has not yet been validated in the field.
