Occupied Palestinian Territory GIS data

The area available for cultivation is the area that is not damaged and not subject to access restrictions. The damaged area was assessed as of 28 July 2025 by the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (FAO) and the United Nations Satellite Centre (UNOSAT), based on the cropland dataset for 2023. The area accessible was determined by excluding the so-called no-go areas in place and the areas subject to evacuation orders since 18 March 2025 (the United Nations Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs [OCHA], July 2025). **Data creation:** 2025-07-31 **Supplemental Information:** More information can be found at https://openknowledge.fao.org/handle/20.500.14283/cd6493en **Contact points:** Resource Contact: [Matieu Henry](mailto:Matieu.Henry@fao.org) Metadata Contact: [Geospatial Unit](mailto:gis-manager@fao.org) **Data lineage:** Land availability for cultivation was assessed using two datasets: (1) the status of damaged cropland from UNOSAT as of July 2025, which includes both damaged and non-damaged areas, and (2) non-accessible areas, comprising (a) no-go areas and (b) areas under evacuation orders, based on OCHA data as of July 2025. The cropland damage status was derived from Sentinel-2 imagery, using data from July 2017 to 2024 as a baseline for comparison with July 2025 to conduct cropland change analysis. The data was classified by accessibility at the governorate level and includes information on the extent of cropland damage. **Resource constraints:** This work is made available under the Creative Commons Attribution 4.0 International licence (CC-BY-4.0) **Online resources:** Download: Land available for cultivation (Gaza, Palestine - July 2025) - Shapefile and SLD Download: Gaza Strip damage assessments as of July 2025 (Excel tables) Fact-sheet: Land available for cultivation in the Gaza Strip as of 28 July 2025

Damage to agricultural wells due to the conflict in Gaza as of 26 September 2025. Utilising a baseline agricultural wells layer and very high-resolution satellite imagery, the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (FAO) conducted an assessment of the number of agricultural wells damaged in the Gaza Strip as a result of the recent conflict escalation. **Data creation:** 2025-10-31 **Supplemental Information:** More information can be found at https://openknowledge.fao.org/handle/20.500.14283/cd7335en **Contact points:** Resource Contact: [Matieu Henry](mailto:Matieu.Henry@fao.org) Metadata Contact: [Geospatial Unit](mailto:gis-manager@fao.org) **Data lineage:** The damage was estimated using Sentinel-1 SAR imagery from 5, 11, 17, 23, 29 May, 4, 10, 16, 22, 28 June, 4, 10, 16, 22, 28 July, 3, 9, 15, 21, 27 August, 2, 8, 14, 20, 26 September 2025. The number of damaged agricultural wells was calculated based on their location within a 15-metre radius area around a damaged site. A thorough evaluation of damage to agricultural wells was performed, overlaying the agricultural wells layer with the damage layer (damage proxy map) from 26 September 2025. The grid depicts the severity of damage in localised areas. In each tile the number of damaged agricultural wells was divided by the number of detected agricultural wells. **Resource constraints:** This work is made available under the Creative Commons Attribution 4.0 International licence (CC-BY-4.0) **Online resources:** Download: Damage to agricultural wells (Gaza, Palestine - September 2025) Download: Gaza Strip damage assessments as of October 2025 (Excel tables) Fact-sheet: Damage to agricultural wells due to the conflict in the Gaza Strip as of 26 September 2025

Damage to greenhouses due to the conflict in Gaza as of 5 October 2025. Utilizing a baseline greenhouse layer prepared by the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (FAO) in 2021 and very high-resolution satellite imagery, the United Nations Satellite Centre (UNOSAT) updated the baseline for 2023, prior to the recent conflict escalation, and conducted an assessment of the area and number of greenhouses in the Gaza Strip. **Data creation:** 2025-10-31 **Supplemental Information:** More information can be found at https://openknowledge.fao.org/handle/20.500.14283/cd7339en **Contact points:** Resource Contact: [Matieu Henry](mailto:Matieu.Henry@fao.org) Metadata Contact: [Geospatial Unit](mailto:gis-manager@fao.org) **Data lineage:** WorldView-2 (50 cm) and WorldView-3 (30 cm) imagery from 1 May 2023, 10 May 2023 and 18 September 2023 were used for pre-conflict imagery. A thorough evaluation of damage to greenhouses was performed, comparing pre-conflict imagery with very high-resolution WorldView-2 imagery from 29 September and 5 October 2025, and WorldView-3 imagery from 22 September 2025.

Damage to cropland due to the conflict in Gaza as of 28 September 2025. A reduction in cropland greenness was considered as an abrupt change and an indication of damage. The severity of the impact on cropland was determined by calculating the percentage and hectares of the damaged area by governorate. The map depicts the severity of damage in localized areas. In each tile (40 ha) the area of damaged cropland was divided by the total cropland area. **Data creation:** 2025-10-31 **Supplemental Information:** The disaggregated datasets for each cropland category are also available: Damage to field crops (Gaza, Palestine - September 2025) Damage to tree horticultures (Gaza, Palestine - September 2025) Damage to vegetables land (Gaza, Palestine - September 2025) More information on the damage to cropland and cropland categories can be found in the following fact-sheets: - Damage to cropland due to the conflict in the Gaza Strip as of 28 September 2025 - Damage to cropland categories due to the conflict in the Gaza Strip as of September 2025 **Contact points:** Resource Contact: [Matieu Henry](mailto:Matieu.Henry@fao.org) Metadata Contact: [Geospatial Unit](mailto:gis-manager@fao.org) **Data lineage:** A cropland mask was prepared using very high-resolution satellite data from SPOT and Pléiades, and high-resolution data from Sentinel-2 to analyze the damage to cropland. Sentinel-2 data from the month of September from 2017 to 2023 was used as a baseline for comparison with September 2025 data to conduct cropland change analysis of the cropland mask area. **Resource constraints:** This work is made available under the Creative Commons Attribution 4.0 International licence (CC-BY-4.0) **Online resources:** Download: Damage to cropland (Gaza, Palestine - September 2025) Download: Gaza Strip damage assessments as of October 2025 (Excel tables) Fact-sheet: Damage to cropland due to the conflict in the Gaza Strip as of 28 September 2025

**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.
