The satellite images, captured on 15 October and 14 January, show a dramatic change - now nearly every patch of accessible, undeveloped ground in an area of north-west Rafah has been turned into a refuge for displaced people. Israel has already launched hundreds of airstrikes across Gaza. US intelligence assessments seen by CNN says Israel has used more than 29,000 bombs and missiles since the start of the conflict, causing extensive damage to buildings and infrastructure. Gazan officials say more than 50% of housing units in Gaza have been destroyed, left uninhabitable or damaged since the start of the conflict. They say more than 500,000 people will have no homes to return to, and many more will not be able to return immediately after the conflict because of damage to surrounding infrastructure.
