The UN Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian
Affairs (OCHA) labeled the crisis “one of the worst in decades,” while UNOSAT
satellite imagery (as of July 8, 2025) identified 192,812 damaged structures,
including 102,067 destroyed buildings and 518 of 564 school facilities
requiring full reconstruction.

A joint UN-donor assessment estimated total
infrastructure damage at $29.9 billion, with an additional $19.1 billion in
social and economic losses, as heavy rains in October flooded tent camps and
displaced thousands more.

Since the ceasefire began, Israel has killed 339 Palestinians
and injured 871 others, raising the war’s total death toll to 69,756 with
170,946 wounded since October 7, 2023, according to Gaza’s Health Ministry.
