Where Data Tells the Story

As the fragile peace deal holds in Gaza Strip and cleanup crews begin the massive task of clearing devastation, satellite 3-D modelling estimates more than 50 million tonnes of rubble now lie across the territory—equivalent to the mass of more than twice the debris recorded in the 2010 Haiti earthquake.
UNDP and UNOSAT satellite analyses released in October 2025 measured roughly 55 million tonnes of debris across the Gaza Strip, derived from 3-D volumetric modelling and material-density estimates — the most comprehensive damage mapping ever conducted by the UN in real time.
According to OHCHR and UNRWA, about 1.9 million residents, nearly 90 percent of Gaza’s population, have been displaced, many living among the ruins or in temporary shelters as cleanup and reconstruction begin under the new peace framework.
In comparison, Haiti’s 2010 earthquake, as reported in the Disaster Medicine & Public Health Preparedness journal and UN ReliefWeb, generated around 25 million tons of rubble and displaced 1.5 million people, underscoring the logistical scale now confronting Gaza’s recovery teams.
