Rafah’s built environment has been profoundly altered since fighting resumed in March 2025. https://t.co/V8x8Lx2fwM CIR’s analysis provides an independent record of that transformation - and of the human cost reflected in the loss of homes, schools and livelihoods. Read the

Some of the heaviest damage was concentrated near the newly developed Morag Corridor, separating Rafah from the rest of Gaza. CIR also documented the removal or destruction of two displacement camps in northeastern Rafah.

In February 2025, around 22% of buildings in the area were already destroyed. By May, that figure had risen to almost 68% - a 219% increase in less than two months. (1 February 2025 - 11 May 2025)

Using high-resolution satellite imagery, CIR analysed nearly 18,000 structures in eastern Rafah between 18 March and 11 May 2025 - the period after the Israel-Hamas ceasefire ended.

In early February 2025, satellite imagery showed severe damage to Tel al-Sultan, one of Rafah’s most densely populated neighbourhoods. In many buildings where residents had sheltered during the ceasefire, only foundations remained. CIR set out to understand the scale of

Our previous report with @FinancialTimes revealed how A7 experimented with a Kyrgyz cryptocurrency scheme to move funds and bypass sanctions. https://t.co/AZKT2TIHkP https://t.co/KYwvQh5hmS

Led by convicted fraudster Ilan Shor and backed by sanctioned Russian banks Promsvyazbank and VEB.RF, A7 runs a network of foreign shell companies (mostly registered in the UAE) to mask illicit financial flows. Essentially, A7 provides sanctions evasion as a service.

A7 markets itself as a payments solution. In reality, it’s a vehicle for large-scale sanctions evasion, moving an estimated $86 billion in under a year to help Russia skirt Western restrictions. New CIR investigation:
