Template:Israel–Hamas war casualties
As of 10 December 2024[update], over 46,000 people – 44,786 Palestinian[1] and 1,706 Israeli[19] – have been reported killed in the Israel–Hamas war, as well as 141–156 journalists and media workers,[22] 120 academics,[23] and over 224 humanitarian aid workers, a number that includes 179 employees of UNRWA.[24] In Nov 2024, the UN published its analysis covering only victims verified from at least three independent sources over 6 months span between Nov 2023 and April 2024 found that 70% of Palestinian deaths in Gaza are women and children.[25]
The majority of casualties have been in the Gaza Strip. The Gaza Health Ministry (GHM) total casualty count is the number of deaths directly caused by the war. The demographic breakdown is a subset of those individually identified.[26][27] On 17 September 2024, the GHM published the names, gender and birth date of 34,344 individual Palestinians whose identities were confirmed. This reflects over 80% of the casualties reported so far; of these, 60% were not men of fighting age.[26] The GHM count does not include those who have died from "preventable disease, malnutrition and other consequences of the war".[28] An analysis by the Gaza Health Projections Working Group predicted thousands of excess deaths from disease and birth complications.[29] According to a PCPSR report, over 60% of Gazans have lost family members since 7 October 2023.[30][31] Indirect deaths[33][34] are likely to be multiple times higher.[35][36]
The 7 October attacks on Israel killed 1,195 people, including 815 civilians.[2] A further 479 Palestinians, including 116 children, and 9 Israelis have been killed in the occupied West Bank (including East Jerusalem).[1] Casualties have also occurred in other parts of Israel, as well as in southern Lebanon,[37] Syria,[38] Yemen,[39] and Iran.[40]

The ratio of people killed in war to those dying indirectly because of a conflict is explored in the chapter on indirect deaths (INDIRECT CONFLICT DEATHS). Studies show that between three and 15 times as many people die indirectly for every person who dies violently.

In recent conflicts, such indirect deaths range from three to 15 times the number of direct deaths. Applying a conservative estimate of four indirect deaths per one direct death to the 37,396 deaths reported, it is not implausible to estimate that up to 186,000 or even more deaths could be attributable to the current conflict in Gaza. Using the 2022 Gaza Strip population estimate of 2,375,259, this would translate to 7.9% of the total population in the Gaza Strip.
