The image clearly tries to make see like not a single building is left. It's the intention of this images.
I'm pretty sure there's a noble intention behind this, but it is misleading, it is propagandistic.
I will provide you a true comparison, similar lightning, similar time of the year. From september 2023 to september 2024. You'll clearly see the destruction. It's nothing shy. There's a lot of destruction. But my images will not exaggerate reality.
There you don't have to really look into what buildings are still up or not, as it is quite evident in the images what was destroyed to the ground. Even with far worse resolution the portrayal of reality is, IMO, infinity better. And the fact that in 5 minutes, with public resources and from my phone I can create this image that is less propagandistic that the image of the post, is, again IMHO, another evidence on why the image from the post have a higher propagandistic value that informative value.
... that looks like even more was destroyed...
