What was destroyed as a result of Israel's attacks on the Gaza Strip?

Israel's 15-month offensive on the Gaza Strip has caused significant damage to the region's infrastructure. According to official figures:

90 percent of Gaza's infrastructure has been completely or partially destroyed.

Economic damage exceeded $38 billion.

216 public buildings, 42 sports facilities, 137 schools and universities were completely destroyed, and 357 were partially damaged.

832 mosques were destroyed.

206 historical monuments and 19 cemeteries were damaged.

2,800 kilometers of roads were destroyed in the region.

According to the UN, more than 155,000 people have been killed in the Gaza Strip since October 7, 2023, more than half of whom are children and women. As a result of the attacks, 85% of Gaza's population has been displaced due to acute shortages of food, clean water and medicine, and 60% of the exclave's infrastructure has been damaged or destroyed.

The attacks also created 40 million tons of debris, which could take 15 years to completely remove.

These figures further highlight the seriousness of the humanitarian situation in the region. The consequences of the attacks for civilians in the Gaza Strip are not only economic, but also related to the loss of sites of historical and cultural significance.
