  "account": "Oscar-winning actress Angelina Jolie has posted a series of satellite images on Instagram, revealing the extensive damage caused to Gaza due to three years of conflict. The images, captured by a UN Satellite Centre, show entire neighbourhoods reduced to rubble and bare ground. Jolie, a former UN goodwill ambassador, expressed shock at the scale of the devastation and called for urgent humanitarian aid and shelter for the Palestinian population.\n\nAccording to the UN assessment cited by Jolie, 82% of structures in Gaza had been damaged as of June 16, with about two-thirds of those assessed as destroyed. She highlighted that 1.98 million people, or 94% of Gaza's population, require shelter assistance and essential items as winter approaches. Jolie pointed out that aid and shelter materials continue to face restrictions and delays, making it difficult to reach those in need.\n\nThe actress emphasized the urgent need for humanitarian aid to reach civilians at the required scale, including hospitals that must receive medical supplies. She also stressed the importance of creating conditions that would allow Palestinians to rebuild their homes, schools, hospitals, and communities. Jolie urged for people to be provided with shelter before the onset of winter, as conditions have become increasingly challenging for the affected population.",
