A new 10-minute-long video shows an aerial view of the Gaza Strip. Entire towns and neighbourhoods have been reduced to rubble. 0:00: The video starts off showing the Gaza Port and what used to be adjacent densely populated neighbourhoods. 0:42: It then pans out to show much of the Shujaiyya, Al-Tuffah, and Zeitoun neighbourhoods completely flattened. This is where a lot of the fighting is ongoing now. 1:03: We then see the former Netzarim Corridor, where only buildings occupied by the IDF remain standing. Everything else was bulldozed. 2:09: Crossing over the Wadi Gaza River, you see the damaged Al-Nuseirat and Bureij Refugee Camps. These are areas in which Hamas maintains a level of civil authority and has regrouped many of their fighters. 3:27: We then move over to the city of Deir Al-Balah, arguably the most "untouched" part of Gaza. This is where many civilians have fled, and while there is obviously a humanitarian crisis, life goes on more normally here than in other places. 4:17: As the plane moves further south, the town of Al-Qarara comes into view, which is now largely flattened due to recent IDF activity. 4:38: The rubble of Khan Younis and then Rafah are also visible in the distance, with the massive expanse of tents and shelters in the Al-Mawasi "humanitarian zone" in the foreground.
