New Satellite Data Shows: Gaza Devastation Scale Greater Than Estimated, at Least 70 Percent of Buildings Leveled
According to a Hebrew University mapping, 89% of the buildings in Rafah, 84% of the buildings in the northern Gaza Strip and 78% of the buildings in Gaza City have been completely or partially destroyed. The data shows that since April, an average of 2,000 buildings have been destroyed in Rafah each month.
"The residents of Gaza have nowhere to return to. The world they knew and their daily lives are simply gone," says Adi Ben-Nun, director of the Hebrew University Geographic Information System Center. "The devastation is on every level, from homes that have been demolished to public institutions, workplaces, schools and agricultural lands - everything has been destroyed."
Maariv, an Israeli daily, reported in May that Netanyahu told Knesset Foreign Affairs & Security Committee: "We are destroying more and more homes. They have nowhere to return to. The only expected outcome will be the desire of Gazans to emigrate out of the Strip."

Zweten in Frankrijk, Spanje en Italië, Franse krant noemt hittegolf 'marteling'
In zuidelijk Europa worden temperaturen van 40 graden en meer bereikt. Onze correspondenten doen verslag.
After long presenting heatwaves as fun episodes, with pictures of young people in fountains and swimming pools, European media are now realizing it's not funny anymore.
French TV talked about the worst day instead of the warmest day, and Le Parisien had "Torture" as headline. nos.nl/l/2573263

Do you have a dataset with the energy prices of those years? It seems like even though less and less coal/gas is burnt, those sources highly influenced the energy cost (whereas nuclear energy price doesn't change as much).

I agree with you, they can do many things. But on days like today in the Netherlands (like the past 4 days) with no wind and fog, those batteries would remain empty and the only low carbon emission energy source is a nuclear power plant that some people would prefer to have shut down.

Quick reminder that batteries need to be charged.

2024 was the warmest year in the Netherlands (1901-).
At 11.8°C, the average temperature was roughly equal to last year's, almost 3°C above the 20th century average.
