"CATASTROPHIC" new images have exposed the devastating scale of destruction inflicted on Gaza by Israel's genocide.
Updated satellite imagery on Google Earth shows vast swathes of Gaza completely destroyed by Israel, with entire neighbourhoods reduced to rubble.
Where homes, businesses and community buildings once stood, many areas now appear as barren stretches of debris, and streets that were once densely populated are now barely recognisable.
The images come as the number of Palestinians killed by Israel in Gaza surpassed 74,000.
Over the weekend, Gaza's health ministry said 74,016 Palestinians have been killed so far, with another 175,068 wounded.
The health ministry maintains detailed records viewed as generally reliable by UN agencies and international organisations. It does not distinguish between civilians and militants, but says women and children make up around half the toll.
Both leading academics and an inquiry by the UN have found that Israel has committed genocide in Gaza.
Since a so-called "ceasefire" was put in place on October 10 last year, a total of 1145 Palestinians and seven Israeli soldiers have been killed.
Former Labour leader Jeremy Corbyn, who led the Gaza Tribunal report into the UK's complicity in Israel's genocide in Gaza, told The National that the latest images "show a fraction of the destruction, devastation and displacement of Gaza", adding that they "should be used as evidence for crimes against humanity".
"Show this to anybody who still denies or downplays the genocide," he added.
Corbyn said that the UK Government "aided and abetted Israel as it turned Gaza into the mass graveyard we can see today".
He added: "These images should haunt those who committed, enabled and facilitated these heinous crimes – and we will never give up until there is justice for the Palestinian people."
Charity Medical Aid for Palestinians (MAP) said the updated satellite maps serve as "a reminder of the international community's failure to protect Palestinians".
Fikr Shalltoot, MAP's Gaza director, said the images "reflect on screen a horrifying reality that we have already seen for a long time on the ground: The systematic destruction of homes, hospitals, schools, businesses and entire communities across Gaza by the Israeli military."
"Many of the empty brown spaces on these maps were once busy neighbourhoods where my colleagues and our families lived and worked – full of life, activity and memories," Shalltoot said.
"Now areas such as Rafah and those beyond the 'Yellow Line' have been almost erased. I remember when the world said Rafah was a 'red line'. Today, these maps expose how those promises were devastatingly and cynically abandoned."
Shalltoot added: "The world must not allow this level of destruction to continue or to become normalised.
"Global leaders, who have the power to take action, must end Israel's military assault and occupation, ensure humanitarian access, and enforce accountability for violations of international law."
Meanwhile, Scottish Greens co-leader Gillian Mackay said the images show "the horrifying scale of Israel's genocide".
"Whole neighbourhoods have been reduced to rubble and Palestinian families have had their homes, schools, hospitals and communities destroyed," she told The National.
“One look at this devastation and it is clear what is happening."
Mackay said that "Scotland must do everything within our power to ensure we are not complicit in genocide".
The Greens co-leader said that she was "proud" that the Scottish Parliament voted for an immediate boycott of Israel last year, but that the "repeated will" of Holyrood must now be turned "into action".
She pointed towards the news that CAF, a company named in a UN database over its involvement with the Jerusalem light rail serving illegal Israeli settlements in occupied Palestinian territory, has been shortlisted for a major ScotRail contract.
Mackay added: “CAF must be ruled out, and binding commitments must be applied across public procurement, grants and investment.
“Not a single penny of Scotland’s public money should support companies profiting from apartheid, occupation or genocide.”
During First Minister's Questions last week, John Swinney said Scottish Rail Holding Ltd, who are overseeing the procurement, was now "seeking further advice" and expected ministers to be provided an update when received.
