Satellite images shared by Barry Andrews show newer images from Rafah and Khan Yunis from early 2026 as well as older images from northern Gaza and Gaza City from 2024 and 2025, documenting the progression of destruction following Israeli bombing.
The new images went viral on Sunday after Irish MEP Barry Andrews shared them on social media.
It is not clear when the images were released by Google, and they are not all from the same date. The images from Rafah and parts of Khan Yunis are some of the most recent, and were taken in early 2026.
The pictures show clear changes compared to before. In western Rafah, densely populated areas have almost completely disappeared. Even the satellite images from Khan Yunis show extensive destruction.
The newest images from northern Gaza are instead from 2024 and 2025. In Gaza City, the devastation is evident in, for example, the port area and the neighborhoods near the Al-Shifa hospital.
There are an estimated 60 million tons of rubble scattered across Gaza after the Israeli bombings. Experts estimate that it may take several decades to clear up among the racial masses, but that it could go much faster if the right resources are deployed, according to The Independent.
