We’re sourcing and analysing satellite imagery of the area around Gaza City which the Israel Defense Forces has declared a “dangerous combat zone” and suspended daily ceasefires for the distribution of aid.

Imagery we’ve seen shows extensive damage to areas of Gaza City, such as Sabra and Zeitoun.

We’re also investigating reports that several people have been killed by an Israeli strike in al-Mawasi – a coastal strip near Khan Younis in southern Gaza that Israel has previously designated a “safe zone”.
