What Jolie says after sharing Gaza satellite images
Satellite images now clearly show the devastation in Gaza. Where there were once homes, schools, hospitals and settlements, there are now vast areas of destruction.
American actress Angelina Jolie shared satellite images of the Gaza war before and after, writing that these images can show the extent of the destruction, but they cannot show the suffering of the people who survived the destruction, the emptiness of the families who were killed, or the reality of life for those who lost their homes.
Ahead of the coming winter, she called for emergency shelter for the people of Gaza, humanitarian aid and medical equipment for hospitals.
According to the Qatar-based media outlet Al Jazeera, American actress Angelina Jolie shared satellite images of Gaza on her verified Instagram page, highlighting the situation before and after Israel’s war. “Now you can open Google Earth and see what has been done to Gaza,” she said.
She did not mention Israel by name in the lengthy post. However, she said, “Entire areas have been reduced to rubble.”
At the same time, he also mentioned that the infrastructure necessary for people to survive has been ‘damaged or destroyed.’ He said that about 1.98 million people in Gaza are in need of humanitarian assistance.
However, she noted, “Relief and shelter supplies are still facing various restrictions and delays.”
She wrote, “Google Earth is showing the true picture of the devastation very clearly. People need to be sheltered before winter sets in. Humanitarian aid needs to reach civilians in the required quantities. Hospitals need medical equipment.”
Jolie wrote in her post, “Now you can open Google Earth and see what has been done to Gaza. Entire areas have been reduced to rubble.
Homes, schools, universities, hospitals, roads, water and sewage systems, and the infrastructure that people depend on to survive have been damaged or destroyed.”
The American actress also wrote, “UN satellite analysis shows that 82 per cent of Gaza’s infrastructure has been damaged as of June 16, 2026. Nearly two-thirds of these damaged infrastructures have been identified as destroyed.
As winter approaches, 1.98 million people in Gaza, or 94 per cent of the total population, need shelter assistance and essential supplies. Relief and shelter supplies are still facing various restrictions and delays.”
At the end of the post, Jolie wrote, “The devastation is visible before our eyes. The needs are known. The important thing now is whether those needs are actually being met.”
