The Interim Damage Assessment report used remote data collection sources to measure damage to physical infrastructure in critical sectors incurred between October 2023 and end of January 2024. The report finds that damage to structures affects every sector of the economy. Housing accounts for 72% of the costs. Public service infrastructure such as water, health and education account for 19%, and damages to commercial and industrial buildings account for 9%. For several sectors, the rate of damage appears to be leveling off as few assets remain intact. An estimated 26 million tons of debris and rubble have been left in the wake of the destruction, an amount that is estimated to take years to remove.
The report also looks at the impact on the people of Gaza. More than half the population of Gaza is on the brink of famine and the entire population is experiencing acute food insecurity and malnutrition. Over a million people are without homes and 75% of the population is displaced. Catastrophic cumulative impacts on physical and mental health have hit women, children, the elderly, and persons with disabilities the hardest, with the youngest children anticipated to be facing life-long consequences to their development.
With 84% of health facilities damaged or destroyed, and a lack of electricity and water to operate remaining facilities, the population has minimal access to health care, medicine, or life-saving treatments. The water and sanitation system has nearly collapsed, delivering less than 5% of its previous output, with people dependent on limited water rations for survival. The education system has collapsed, with 100% of children out of school.
The report also points to the impact on power networks as well as solar generated systems and the almost total power blackout since the first week of the conflict. With 92% of primary roads destroyed or damaged and the communications infrastructure seriously impaired, the delivery of basic humanitarian aid to people has become very difficult.
The Interim Damage Assessment Note identifies key actions for early recovery efforts, starting with an increase in humanitarian assistance, food aid and food production; the provision of shelter and rapid, cost-effective, and scalable housing solutions for displaced people; and the resumption of essential services.
The Gaza Interim Damage Assessment report draws on remote data collection sources and analytics to provide a preliminary estimate of damages to physical structures in Gaza from the conflict in accordance with the Rapid Damage & Needs Assessment (RDNA) methodology. RDNAs follow a globally recognized methodology that has been applied in multiple post-disaster and post-conflict settings. A comprehensive RDNA that assesses economic and social losses, as well as financing needs for recovery and reconstruction, will be completed as soon as the situation allows. The cost of damages, losses and needs estimated through a comprehensive RDNA is expected to be significantly higher than that of an Interim Damage Assessment.

Note that you can group multiple assets together for this task. For example, you might group all commercial properties in the downtown area together, or consider all city-owned properites as a single asset. If some of your assets are more important than others, or they stand out as more likely to be damaged than others, you can list them singly. The Community Asset Themes Worksheet can help you choose categories for characterizing your assets.
To zero in on weather and climate-related hazards for your location, use the links below to check what types of events have caused damage in your region in the past. You'll also add the hazards that might damage your assets in the present to your list, and finish by entering hazards that could occur under climate conditions projected for your location in the future.
Draw on local knowledge, newspaper archives, online databases, and other documents to identify extreme weather events that occurred within your region in the past. Capture a few sentences about each event, including the impacts it had and an estimate of the costs it incurred.
As temperatures rise and precipitation patterns change over this century, what other hazards might occur in your region? List the hazards that could occur under new conditions projected for the future.
Groups who have completed an exposure matrix report that the exercise helped them move from vague concerns about how climate change might harm them to a finite list of potential problems they may be able to address.
Use the example below to build your own matrix. List your community assets in the first column on the left. Across the top row, enter the hazards that could occur in your location. Consider each asset in your list, one row at a time. Put an X in the box under any hazards that could harm the asset in that row.
The U.S. Department of Transportation uses a similar strategy to identify which transportation assets that are exposed to specific hazards. Their engineering case studies describe examples of assets that are exposed to specific hazards
Capture clear descriptions of the potential consequences for each asset at varying intensities of the hazard. Use the descriptions you captured of past events to ground these imagined impacts in reality. These descriptions can serve as warnings about what could happen to your community's valued assets. The opportunity to help avoid these impacts may motivate individuals and groups to join your efforts.
On iPads after updating to iPadOS 16.4, Safari often "looses" the session cookie provided by PlayFramework: When the browser requests assets (js scripts) or when additional data is fetched by JavaScript, the session cookie is not included in the request.
These secondary requests will redirect through our IAM because no session cookie is present. The IAM redirects back to the original domain with a payload so that the login session can be resumed. A new Set-Cookie header is sent in the response with the new session cookie.
This causes the framework to issue a new CSRF token (that is part of the session cookie) which is different from the old one that was already rendered into a hidden form input. The browser stores this new token and includes it when it POSTs the form. The token in the body of the request is now different from the one in the cookies, causing the CSRF check to fail.
We have tried different devices (Android, Windows, MacBook, and iPads) on different versions. The problem only occurs with Safari on iPad/MacBook running version 16.4, 16.4.1, or 16.5 beta. The problem cannot be reproduced using Chrome on iPad. Furthermore, the problem does not occur with private browsing in Safari.

We have a similar issue with Safari on iPad running version 16.4 (other versions untested) but yet be able to further debug as we have no MacBook at hand right now. But navigating will hang our page and redirect to login after refresh. So it seems to be a session cookie related regression. Deleting Safari website data resets and/or restarts the cycle. Private browsing in Safari or switching to Chrome or Edge is "helping" for now. I will try to get more details on the issue using a MacBook as soon as possible.
Occasionally, requests to my site from Safari 16.4 fail to send a user's session token cookie, despite it being present in Safari's storage. This results in my server seeing that missing cookie and "correcting" the mistake by signing the user out.
This does not happen on every request, but it's always the same cookie that gets "dropped." The main difference b/t our cases is that my cookie is not a session cookie, it has an expire time of 365 days.
I am experiencing the same issue. I log into my site using Firefox on Windows and I have cookies sent for every request, I sign into my site from Safari (16.4; os 13.3.1) and nearly all of my request are not sent with cookies.
t seems to occur when the samesite attribute of Cookie is set to "Lax" in Safari 16.4.If the samesite attribute is not set (not 'none') in my Rails Application, this problem will not occur, but it will occur if it is 'Lax'.
hellowe have the same problem. The session cookie is accidentally lost. Affected are: iphones with ios 16.4 / safari browser. when will this be fixed? will it be fixed ? or do we have to find a solution ourselves?
I'm experiencing the same issue. To make it even weirder, when the inspector is open, even with 'disable cache' unchecked, it will send the cookies. I don't have an actual iOS device at hand, but this is also happening on real hardware, based on feedback from my customers.
I am developing a website. In the process we startet with Safari 16.3 and the cookie consent solution worked fine. Since I upgraded my computer to Ventura 13.3.1 and Safari 16.4 the cookie-banner, appears as a modal as expected, but nothing in the pref-field can be clicked or selected. When trying to click something the whole modal closes. Since the cookie consent solution also works based on cookies, I believe that the issues you have experienced cause the problem. Additionally on the website script based functions are corrupted or not loading. In other browsers such as Chrome (Version 113.0.5672.92) everything works fine. Also in Safari 16.3.
