Before and after pictures of Gaza show the dramatic and extensive destruction caused by Israeli airstrikes from October 2023 through early 2025, depicting crippled hospitals, schools, residential areas, and places of worship that once flourished. These images highlight entire neighborhoods reduced to rubble, including key healthcare facilities like the Al-Najjar Hospital and the Turkish-Palestinian Friendship Hospital, which were once operational but are now ruins. Residential buildings, mosques, and educational institutions like the Islamic University of Gaza have also been heavily damaged or obliterated, revealing the massive humanitarian and infrastructural devastation in the region.
Hospitals that once served tens of thousands, such as Beit Hanoun Hospital in North Gaza, show side-by-side photos from before the conflict and early 2025 to reveal the scale of destruction. Entire neighborhoods such as Zeitoun and Shujayea in Gaza City have been flattened in recent months, displacing countless residents. Photos and drone videos also show cities now covered in rubble with critical infrastructure like roads, hospitals, and schools either damaged or nonfunctional.
These images provide a stark visual record of how buildings, infrastructure, and whole communities in Gaza have been devastated over 15 months of conflict and bombardment.
