Angelina Jolie Highlights Gaza Destruction With Satellite Images

Actress Angelina Jolie shared satellite images of Gaza on Instagram, illustrating the extensive damage caused by the conflict. The post, which garnered nearly a million likes within 11 hours, utilized Google Earth imagery to show entire neighborhoods reduced to rubble, including homes, schools, universities, hospitals, and essential infrastructure like water and sewage systems.

Jolie cited UN data indicating that as of June 16, 2026, 82% of buildings in Gaza were damaged, with approximately two-thirds completely destroyed. She emphasized the dire humanitarian situation, noting that with winter approaching, 1.98 million people, or 94% of Gaza's population, require shelter and basic necessities.

The actress also called for increased aid to enter the Gaza Strip, highlighting that the delivery of humanitarian and shelter materials continues to face restrictions and delays. While satellite imagery reveals the physical devastation, Jolie pointed out that it cannot convey the human cost, the fate of families killed, or the lives of survivors.

This is not Jolie's first engagement with the humanitarian crisis in Gaza. Earlier in the year, she visited the Egyptian side of the Rafah border crossing to observe relief efforts and express solidarity with the Palestinian people. During that visit, she was accompanied by representatives from the U.S. Department of State, the governor of North Sinai, and the Egyptian Minister of Immigration.
