People in Lebanon are literally buying satellite imagery just to see if their houses are still standing.

This is honestly heartbreaking. Imagine being displaced by war and having to pay for satellite photos just to get a glimpse of whether your home is even there anymore. It’s such a wild and desperate way to get any kind of closure. Does anyone know if there are any free ways for people to check this kind of thing?
