Synopsis (short abstract) Using the 2023 winter cropland baseline and very high-resolution satellite imagery, an assessment of damage to olive and other tree plantations in the Gaza Strip resulting from the recent conflict escalation was conducted. A total of 500 random sample points were distributed across olive and other tree plantation areas to estimate damage proportions. The damage analysis was performed by comparing pre-conflict and post-conflict imagery (WorldView-2, May 2021, and Pleiades, August–September 2025) and applying the derived damage proportions to the total crop area for each governorate.

    A cropland category mask was prepared using very high-resolution satellite data from SPOT, WorldView-2 and Pléiades multispectral and panchromatic imagery, along with Sentinel-2 to analyse the damage to cropland. Sentinel-2 data from the month of September from 2017 to 2023 was used as a baseline for comparison with September 2025 data conduct cropland change analysis of the cropland category mask area.

    Utilising a baseline agricultural infrastructure layer and very high-resolution satellite imagery, the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (FAO) conducted an assessment of the number of agricultural infrastructures damaged in the Gaza Strip as a result of the recent conflict escalation. The number of damaged agricultural infrastructures were calculated based on their location within a 15-metre radius area around a damaged site. The damage was estimated using multiple Sentinel-1 SAR imagery and overlaying the agricultural infrastructure layer with the damage layer (damage proxy map) from 26 September 2025.
