European Space Imaging (EUSI) partner, Maxar collected new imagery yesterday (7 November) of Gaza that spotlights the following:
- New cross-border activity between Gaza and Egypt at the Rafah border crossing where aid/humanitarian trucks and vehicles increasingly are transiting the area and bringing in supplies to Gaza
- Groups of people evacuating south along Salah al-Din road as part of the humanitarian corridor that was opened briefly today to enable civilians an opportunity to flee the fighting in Gaza City
- A Shortwave Infrared (SWIR) image of a number of active fires burning in Gaza City. With the SWIR satellite imagery, vegetation appears in shades of blue while active fires/thermal hot spots show up as orange/yellow.
