The Maps page enables the interactive exploration of destruction patterns in the Gaza Strip across both time and space. By combining satellite data, geographic mapping, and data analysis, users can examine how the scale of damage to buildings and areas changes over time, and move from a broad view of the entire Strip down to the level of individual structures. The tools on this page connect time, location, and building types—making it possible to understand the spatial development of events over the course of the period.

On this page you can:

• Explore the spread of destruction on an interactive map of the Gaza Strip.
• Move along the timeline to examine how the scale of damage changes between different points in time.
  
• Conduct focused investigation across different geographic levels—from district and city, to neighborhood, street, and individual buildings.
  
• Examine data by building type, such as hospitals, educational institutions, residential buildings, and infrastructure.
  
• Identify concentrations of damage and analyze spatial patterns of destruction and density of impact.
• View graphs that illustrate trends over time, including the number of affected structures and the distribution of damage types.
• Compare “before and after” satellite imagery based on different points along the timeline.
• Click on locations on the map to open an information pop-up presenting additional details about the site and the damage to the structure.
• Dive deeper through links from the pop-up to the project’s archive of sources, which includes testimonies, reports, documents, and other materials related to that location.

Together, these tools allow users to move between a macro view of broader patterns across the Gaza Strip and micro-level spatial investigation of specific areas and buildings, connecting data, places, and sources to enable a deeper understanding of developments over time.
