Claim summary · not a verbatim quotation
Approximately 90% of Gaza has been destroyed during the current conflict.
The finding
What the evidence shows
The destruction is enormous, but 90 percent is higher than the UN satellite figures. UNOSAT, the UN satellite centre, reported in August 2026 that about 82 percent of structures in Gaza are damaged, roughly 200,000 buildings, with about two thirds of those destroyed. That works out to a bit over half of all structures destroyed rather than 90 percent of Gaza being gone.
