- She urged followers to use Google Earth to view the damage to neighborhoods and infrastructure.

Actress and human rights activist Angelina Jolie has again voiced support for Gaza, sharing satellite images on Instagram that she claims show widespread destruction. In a post on Saturday, Jolie compared satellite images of a school in Rafah from 2022 to 2026, urging followers to "open Google Earth and see what has been done to Gaza." She stated that "entire neighborhoods have been turned into rubble," detailing damage to homes, schools, hospitals, and essential infrastructure.
Jolie called for aid for Gazans ahead of the winter, noting that 1.98 million people, or 94% of Gaza's population, need shelter and essential supplies. She emphasized the need for humanitarian aid to reach civilians and for medical supplies to reach hospitals, adding that conditions must be created for civilians to rebuild. She also claimed that the entry of aid and shelter materials continues to face "restrictions and delays."
While acknowledging that Google Earth clearly displays the physical destruction, Jolie stated it cannot convey the human cost, the fate of families killed, or the lives of survivors. She cited a UN satellite analysis indicating that as of June 16, 2026, 82% of buildings in Gaza have been affected, with an estimated two-thirds of those damaged having been destroyed.
This is not Jolie's first public statement regarding Gaza. Less than a month after the October 7th attacks, she posted about the conflict, stating that "40% of those killed are innocent children, entire families are murdered." Her father, actor John Voight, publicly criticized her statements, releasing a video in support of Israel and claiming his daughter lacked understanding. Despite this, Jolie has continued to share posts about the humanitarian situation in Gaza, describing it as catastrophic and likely to worsen as fighting continues.
