Building footprints across the area: every feature tagged `building=*`, from residential homes to hospitals, schools, and places of worship. Useful for population estimation, damage assessment, and urban planning. Coverage reflects where volunteer mappers have been active. Urban areas are usually well represented, remote areas may be sparse. Cross-check critical decisions with local field knowledge. - Source: OpenStreetMap, a free, collaborative world map - Tags: building - Part of the country exports on HDX by HOT

**UNOSAT code CE20231007PS** UNOSAT's satellite-detected damage and destruction to buildings within the area of interest in the Gaza Governorate, Gaza Strip, based on an image collected on 15 October 2023 compared to an image collected on 10 October 2023 (partially clouded), and 10 May 2023 shows a total of 533 destroyed structures, 640 severely damaged structures, and 1273 moderately damaged structures, for a total of 2246 affected buildings as of 15 October 2023. The most affected area appears to be the one south of Ash Shuja'iyeh neighborhood (inset 1), with clouds covered on the 10 October 2023 image. Among the new affected structures, UNOSAT identified two school compounds, namely the Elnoor W Alaml School, moderately affected, and the Islamic University of Gaza, previously cloud-covered and now severely damaged. Additionally, UNOSAT identified 45 affected road sections, either by impact craters or by debris. This is a preliminary analysis and has not yet been validated in the field.
Dataset reflects digitization from January to July 2024 using imagery that was captured between 2019 and 2023. Data was obtained from a Geofabrik mirror dated January 1st 2025 (https://download.geofabrik.de/asia/israel-and-palestine.html), after Humanitarian OpenStreetMap Team's mapping initiative (https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Gaza_Update_2024).
