As of 30 July 2025[update], over 63,000 people (61,805 Palestinians[4][9] and 1,983 Israelis[c]) have been reported killed in the Gaza war according to the Gaza Health Ministry (GHM) and Israeli Ministry of Foreign Affairs, as well as 217 journalists and media workers,[46][d] 120 academics,[49] and over 224 humanitarian aid workers, a number that includes 179 employees of UNRWA.[50] Scholars have estimated 80% of Palestinians killed are civilians.[6][5][7][51] A study by OHCHR, which verified fatalities from three independent sources, found that 70% of the Palestinians killed in residential buildings or similar housing were women and children.[52][53]

The majority of casualties have been in the Gaza Strip. The GHM total casualty count is the number of deaths directly caused by the war. The demographic breakdown is a subset of those individually identified.[54][55] On 17 September 2024, the GHM published the names, gender and birth date of 34,344 individual Palestinians whose identities were confirmed and continues to attempt to identify all casualties.[54] The GHM count does not include those who have died from "preventable disease, malnutrition and other consequences of the war".[56] An analysis by the Gaza Health Projections Working Group predicted thousands of excess deaths from disease and birth complications.[57]

In January 2025, a peer-reviewed analysis of deaths in the Gaza war between October 2023 and 30 June 2024 was published in The Lancet. The paper estimated 64,260 deaths from traumatic injury during this period, and likely exceeding 70,000 by October 2024, with 59.1% of them being women, children and the elderly. It concluded that the GHM undercounted trauma-related deaths by 41% in its report, and also noted that its findings "underestimate the full impact of the military operation in Gaza, as they do not account for non-trauma-related deaths resulting from health service disruption, food insecurity, and inadequate water and sanitation."[58] As of January 2025, a comparable estimate for traumatic injury deaths would be around 80,000.[59] A comparable figure for May 2025 would be 93,000 (77,000 to 109,000), representing 4–5% of Gaza's pre-war population.[60]

A survey by PCPSR reported showed over 60% of Gazans have lost family members since the war began.[61][62] Thousands of more dead bodies are thought to be under the rubble of destroyed buildings.[63][64] The number of injured is greater than 100,000;[65] Gaza has the most amputated children per capita in the world.[66]

The 7 October attacks on Israel killed 1,195 people, including 815 civilians.[1] Casualties have also occurred in other parts of Israel, as well as in southern Lebanon,[67] Syria,[68] Yemen,[69] and Iran.[70]

El-Remal in Gaza City following an Israeli airstrike, 10 October 2023

The Gaza Strip suffered significant civilian casualties from Israeli bombardment.[74][75]

On 3 November 2023, at least 10 cemetery workers were killed by an Israeli airstrike while working at a graveyard in Beit Lahia.[76] On 4 November, an unnamed Israeli official said that around 20,000 people had been killed in Gaza, "most of them terrorists."[77] On 14 November, two volleyball players, Hassan Zuaiter and Ibrahim Qusaya, were killed in an Israeli airstrike on Jabalia refugee camp.[78] As of 1 December 102 UNRWA employees in Gaza had been killed in Israeli airstrikes.[79] On 29 December, UNRWA reported 308 people had been killed in UNRWA shelters.[80] Euro-Med Monitor reported that the IDF was taking and holding Palestinian bodies from Gaza, prompting calls for an international investigation on organ theft suspicions.[81] The organization further stated that Israel had systematically killed hundreds of tech specialists, including "programmers, information technology experts, and computer engineering analysts".[82] In March 2024, Al Jazeera English's news blog reported that Israeli forces conducted a pattern of killing entire families by targeting the homes they were sheltering in.[83] An entire family, including both parents and four sons, were shot dead by the IDF in December 2023.[84]

According to the Gaza Health Ministry, at least 50 people were killed by Israeli strikes on Jabalia on 31 October and 1 November.[85] Significant civilian casualties were reported following the Al-Ahli Arab Hospital explosion, the Jabalia camp airstrike on 31 October, and the Fakhoora school airstrike on 4 November. Other mass casualty events included the Church of Saint Porphyrius airstrike and the al-Shati refugee camp airstrike, as well as numerous attacks on refugee camps, schools, and healthcare facilities. The United Nations stated they had recorded seven mass casualty incidents just between 24 and 29 October 2024 in the Gaza Strip.[86]

As of 13 May 2024, the U.N. reported there were 35,000 direct casualties, and amongst those with confirmed identities there were 7,797 minors, 4,959 women and 1,924 elderly.[87][56] 52% of those with confirmed identities are women and minors, and 40% are men; the U.N. does not differentiate between combatant and civilian deaths.[88] By late-June 2024, a Palestinian NGO reported that as many as 10,000 Palestinians had been disabled by injuries related to the war.[89] According to public health experts, such as chair of global public health at the University of Edinburgh Devi Sridhar, the death tolls in the Gaza Strip are likely an undercount.[90] In November, a report on an investigation by the UN Human Rights Office into a subset of 8,119 verified fatalities found around 70% of them to be women and children, with 5-9 year olds the most heavily represented group.[91][92]

### Children

[edit]

On 25 October 2023, by when over 1000 children had been killed, Qatar's Foreign Minister Mohammed bin Abdulrahman bin Jassim Al Thani criticized the international community for "acting as if the lives of Palestinian children do not count".[93] In a statement, UNICEF regional director Adele Khodr stated Gaza's child death toll was a "growing stain on our collective conscience".[94] On 28 October 2023, the number of families who had been killed entirely had risen to 825.[95] On 30 October 2023, Save the Children reported more children had died in three weeks in Gaza than in the entire sum of conflicts around the world in the past four years.[96] UNRWA Commissioner-General Philippe Lazzarini briefed the UN Security Council, sharing Save the Children's analysis.[97] By the end of October 2023 over 3000 children had been killed.[98] The death of Hind Rajab drew significant media coverage following the release of her emergency call and her subsequent disappearance for 12 days.[99]

On 29 February 2024, Gaza's Ministry of Health reported that 44% (i.e. over 13,000) of the fatalities were children.[100] This disproportionate amount is mainly a result of the strip's very young population, of which 40% are below 14 years of age.[101]

On 8 May 2024, the UN officially revised previous numbers regarding the breakdown of casualties following more formal investigations, the total number killed remaining the same. Only considering identifiable casualties, the proportion of children killed in Gaza was reported as 31.6% or 7797 identified children casualties out of 24,686 identified bodies.[88][102] A joint report by Oxfam and Action on Armed Violence in October 2024 found the Israeli military had killed more women and children in Gaza than in any other conflict around the world in the past two decades.[103]

### Civilian to combatant ratio

Total  | Combatant  | Civilian
Professor Adam Gaffney[6] | 3 May 2024  | ~80%  | 36,906  | ~7,000  | ~29,906  | "assume that the number of noncombatant men who have been killed equals the number of women killed"
Professor Michael Spagat[5] | 2 August 2024  | ~80%  | 39,145[e] | ~7,829  | ~31,316  | "We must guess at the fraction of combatants among the 41.2% [males 15-69]. But the age range of 15 to 69 is wide so I think that a generous estimate for the IDF would be that half of the 41.2% were civilians."
Euro-Mediterranean Human Rights Monitor[104] | 5 December 2023  | ~90%  | 21,022  | 1,362  | 19,660  | ~60% of dead were women and children; among adult male deaths (including elderly men), ~65% are civilians based on field documentation
Benjamin Netanyahu[105] | 12 May 2024  | ~53%  | ~30,000  | ~14,000  | ~16,000  | No evidence provided. Widely criticized as inaccurate.[106][107][108][109][110][111] See below.
Armed Conflict Location and Event Data[112] | 9 October 2024  |  |  | ~8,500  |  | "However, more detailed IDF reports on the killing of militants containing specifics on timeframes, locations, or operations, recorded by ACLED, account for approximately 8,500 fatalities."
Action on Armed Violence[51] | 28 October 2024  | 74.0%  | 40,717  | 10,595  | 30,122  | "Bare minimum" estimate, assuming male and female civilian deaths are exactly equal
80.6%  | 40,717  | 7,888  | 32,829  | Taking male-female civilian casualty ratio from Airwars' database on Israeli airstrikes in Gaza
84.4%  | 40,717  | 6,366  | 34,351  | Taking the male-female civilian casualty ratio and adjusting for non-airstrike casualties
Houssein Ayoub[7] | 26 October 2023  | 87.3%  | 7,028  | 893  | 6,135  | Derived a statistical model of combatant deaths from previous Gaza–Israel conflicts and fitted it to the reported deaths from 7 to 26 October 2023. The model yields 87.3% deaths were civilian with a 95% UI: 84.6%–90.3%.[7]

The Gaza Ministry of Health casualty numbers do not provide the proportion of casualties who are civilian; as a result, varying estimates have been given by analysts. A study by the London School of Hygiene and Tropical Medicine in The Lancet covering the period 7–26 October estimated 68.1% of casualties were children, women or elders and therefore likely non-combatants,[113] while an analysis published in December in Haaretz by Israeli sociologist Yagil Levy estimated at least 61% of the casualties were in this category.[114][115] Both studies were based on figures from Gaza's Ministry of Health. Considering only women, children and elderly as civilians (i.e. classifying all adult men as combatants) gives a conservative figure for civilians, although the true proportion of civilians is likely higher.[116] In early December, Euro-Mediterranean Human Rights Monitor estimated that 90% of the casualties were civilians.[104][117] In December, Israel's military said it estimated two out of three (66%) of those killed to be civilians.[118][119] On 30 May, professor Adam Gaffney of Harvard Medical School estimated civilians constituted 80% of total killed.[6] On 2 August, professor Michael Spagat also estimated that roughly 80% of GHM recorded deaths constituted civilians.[5]

Even the conservative figure of 61% is higher than the average civilian death rate in all world conflicts "from the Second World War to the 1990s", according to Yigal Levy.[120] The number of casualties is higher than in any conflict in Gaza's recent history, with Neta Crawford of the Costs of War Project at Brown University stating, "This is, in the 21st century, a significant and out-of-the-norm level of destruction".[121] On 31 December, Al Jazeera English stated 2023 was the deadliest year for Palestinians since the 1948 Nakba.[122]

In late April 2024 Khalil al-Hayya, a top Hamas official, said that no more than 20% of Hamas's fighters had been killed.[123]

US intelligence estimated in June 2024 that between 11,000 and 13,000 militants have been killed.[124]

#### Israeli military reports

[edit]

In early December 2023, an Israeli official reported Israel had killed 5,000 militants,[119][118] but provided no evidence to support the report.[108] On 29 December, the IDF said it had killed 8,000 Hamas fighters.[125][100] On 30 December 2023, Euro-Mediterranean Human Rights Monitor estimated 2,353 militant deaths (based 30,034 total and 27,681 civilian deaths).[126] On 19 February 2024, one Hamas official told Reuters 6,000 of its militants had been killed,[127] but a second Hamas official denied this figure in an interview with BBC.[100] Hamas also put out an official statement denying the 6,000 figure. The same day, the IDF said it had killed 12,000 militants up to that point.[128] The IDF did not confirm that number to the BBC, but in two separate responses, said the figure is "approximately 10,000" and "more than 10,000", with the Israeli embassy in London giving a similar figure.[100] On 7 April, the IDF said that more than 13,000 operative of Hamas and its allies had been killed by Israel in Gaza in the fighting (although an IDF press release gave 12,000+), in addition to the 1,000 killed on 7 October. The IDF said these deaths included five Hamas brigade commanders or equivalent, 20 battalion commanders, and over 100 company commanders or equivalent.[129][130][131] On 12 May Netanyahu said about 14,000 militants and 16,000 civilians had been killed in Gaza – that about 47% of the deaths were of militants.[105] On 15 August 2024 the IDF said more than 17,000 militants had been killed.[132]

The AP, CNN, Washington Post, NBC and others have all said that the IDF has provided no evidence for its reports of how many militants it has killed, or been unable to verify what the IDF has said.[133]

Sources have doubted the Israeli figures by questioning the IDF's ability to distinguish civilians from combatants[109][107] (for example, the IDF mistakenly identified three Israeli civilians as Palestinian militants).[134] Many observers believe Israel simply treats all adult male casualties as militants.[106][116][110] Other observers argue that Israel could be arriving at inflated figures of militant deaths by including all civil servants as militants.[109]

BBC Verify repeatedly asked IDF for its methodology on counting militant deaths, but the IDF never responded.[100] BBC Verify attempted to count militant deaths by compiling all announcements of militant deaths on the IDF's official telegram channel; it found the IDF had made 160 such announcements, summing up to 714 total militant deaths in the Gaza Strip (as of 29 February), however 247 references used terms such as “several”, “dozens”, or “hundreds” which made a meaningful tally impossible.[109][100] BBC Verify also viewed all 280 videos posted on the IDF's YouTube channel of Gaza operations, and found that only one of those videos actually showed dead bodies of Palestinian militants.[109]

An analysis by Zoran Kusovac in Al-Jazeera in December 2023, said that IDF's own numbers imply 62 Hamas fighters killed for every Israeli soldier killed in Gaza operations. Kusovac argued that if only half the militants were killed in combat, a constant loss exchange ratio of 31:1 over many months would be so demoralizing that Hamas fighters would rout, yet as Hamas continues to fight, its losses must be smaller than reported.[111]

In March 2024, Haaretz interviewed several standing army commanders and reserve commanders who cast doubt on Israel's official figures of how many "terrorists" it had killed.[135] Many of those included in the combatant killed count were simply "Palestinians who never held a gun in their lives".[135]

In January 2025, the Jerusalem Post said the "numbers don't add up" regarding initial Israeli estimates of Hamas' forces.[136] In October 2023, the IDF had estimated Hamas 25,000 fighters; in 2024 the IDF said it had killed 17–20,000 fighters, wounding another 14–16,000 and capturing 6,000. Yet in January, it said there were still had 12–23,000 fighters left. To reconcile the discrepancy, the IDF revised its October 2023 estimate to 40,000 and said Hamas must have recruited thousands more.[136]

### Impacts

[edit]

On 13 October, the Palestinian Ministry of Health noted 20 surnames had been removed from Gaza's civil registry, meaning every single person in that entire family had been killed.[137] The New York Times stated, "Family trees have been dismembered, and whole branches obliterated."[138] An Associated Press investigation found 60 Palestinian families where at least 25 people were killed between October and December 2023, sometimes across four generations.[139]

On 16 October 2023, UNRWA stated there were so many deaths in Gaza that there were no longer enough body bags.[140] Because the morgues were so overcrowded, bodies were kept in ice cream trucks.[141] On 11 November 2023, Monir al-Bashr, the director of the Health Ministry of Gaza, stated graves were being dug by hand.[142] On 12 November 2023, Mai al-Kaila noted staff at Al-Shifa were unable to bury 100 decomposing bodies.[143] On 14 November 2023, the Palestinian Red Crescent noted it was unable to rescue the wounded and injured beneath the rubble, noting, "Those injured are left there in agony to suffer and die with no response to their calls of help."[144] By August 2024, the dead were being buried in the streets and house yards, as well as in mass graves.[145][146]

At the end of January 2024 BBC reported that based on a recent report from the Euro-Mediterranean Human Rights Monitor more than 24,000 children have lost one or both parents due to the war. The United Nations agency UNICEF have estimated that there are about 19,000 orphaned or unaccompanied children in Gaza, with some being dug out of rubble or found throughout the strip.[147]

#### Famine

[edit]

Gaza Strip famine

Country| State of Palestine
Location| Gaza Strip
Period| 2023; 2 years ago (2023)-present
Total deaths| 31+[f][g]
Causes| blockade, siege, airstrikes, and limitation of aid
Relief| Humanitarian aid
Consequences| 677,000+ in starvation[150]

Main article: Gaza Strip famine

The Gaza war has led to imminent famine conditions in the Gaza Strip, resulting from Israeli airstrikes and the ongoing blockade of the Gaza Strip by Israel, which includes restrictions on humanitarian aid.[151][152][153] By February 2024, 2.2 million people in Gaza were experiencing food insecurity at emergency level.[154]

Airstrikes have destroyed food infrastructure, such as bakeries, mills, and food stores, and there is a widespread scarcity of essential supplies due to the blockade of aid.[h] By March 2024, this had caused starvation for more than half a million Gazans and is part of a broader humanitarian crisis in the Strip. It is the “highest number of people facing catastrophic hunger” ever recorded on the IPC scale,[153] and is widely expected to be the most intense man-made famine since the Second World War.[151][156][157]

In March 2024, the Integrated Food Security Phase Classification (IPC) aid partnership said that the residents of Gaza are perishing due to starvation. The alarming pace at which this crisis of hunger and malnutrition, caused by humans, is spreading in Gaza is deeply concerning. Half of Gaza's entire population is currently facing catastrophic conditions and is on the brink of famine, a situation that has never been seen before. Approximately 1.1 million individuals in Gaza – half its population – were grappling with severe hunger.[158] By October 2024, the IPC and World Food Programme reported that more than 1.8 million Palestinians in Gaza were experiencing “extremely critical” levels of hunger, resulting from 70% of crop fields destroyed and livelihoods decimated during Israel's offensive.[159]

A letter sent to President Joe Biden, Vice President Kamala Harris, and others on 2 October 2024 by 99 American healthcare workers who have served in the Gaza Strip since 7 October 2023, using the Integrated Food Security Phase Classification standards and the available data on the severity of food shortage in different parts of Gaza, calculated that there had been at the very least 62,413 deaths in Gaza from starvation (most of them young children) and at least 5,000 deaths from lack of access to care for chronic diseases.[160][161] This estimate was included in the estimate for indirect deaths in the war in a study from the Watson Institute for International and Public Affairs at Brown University.[162]

According to UNRWA, in the four months to mid December 2024, some 19,000 children were treated for acute malnutrition.[163]

### Death toll

[edit]

UN OCHA casualties summary, as of 19 June 2024

On 25 October 2023, US President Joe Biden stated he had "no confidence" in the death totals reported by the Gaza Health Ministry.[164][165][166] In response, Human Rights Watch stated that after three decades working in Gaza and conducting its own investigation, it considers Gaza Health Ministry's totals to be reliable.[165] Matthew Miller made a similar claim to Biden's, despite the fact that the US Department of State cites the Gaza Health Ministry's death tolls in its own internal reports.[167] On 26 October, the Gaza Health Ministry responded by releasing a 212-page document of 6,747 individual names and ID numbers, as well as 281 unidentified fatalities.[168] The US State Department Assistant Secretary of State for Near Eastern Affairs told a Congressional hearing on 9 November that the death toll was "very high, frankly, and it could be that they're even higher than are being cited."[169]

Every death registered in Gaza is the result of a verified change in the population registry approved by the Government of Israel.[170] The Israeli government notes that its "Population Registry Office works to update population registry files located on the Israeli side to match the files that are held" in the West Bank and Gaza.[171] On 26 October, the United Nations humanitarian office added they use the Gaza Ministry of Health's death totals because they are "clearly sourced"[172] and their estimates have been described as trustworthy by the World Health Organization's (WHO) regional emergency director Richard Brennan.[100] On 6 December, a peer-reviewed article by Johns Hopkins Bloomberg School of Public Health scholars in The Lancet concluded the Gaza Ministry of Health's death tolls were accurate.[173] In May 2024, The Economist argued that the Ministry of Health's death tolls were "legitimate" and marked the lower bound of lives lost.[174]

Around mid-November, the Gaza Health Ministry had begun to lose count of deaths stating that it struggled to update casualty tolls as a result of blackouts, high death tolls, and the destruction of the healthcare system.[175][176] On 6 January 2024, the Gaza Health Ministry requested that civilians register their dead online, as the healthcare system collapse had resulted in the ministry being unable to maintain a regularly updated death toll.[177][178] In February 2024, a joint study by the London School of Hygiene and Tropical Medicine and the Johns Hopkins Center for Humanitarian Health at Johns Hopkins University found the war continuing at status quo would result in between 58,260 and 74,290 excess deaths by 6 August.[179]

As of 29 February, the Gaza Health Ministry stated that its daily tallies now rely upon "a combination of accurate death counts from hospitals that are still partially operating, and on estimates from media reports to assess deaths in the north of Gaza", but did not "cite or say which sources those are."[180] On 31 March, it stated that 15,070 fatalities (45.8% of the then total) had been compiled via "reliable media sources" instead of direct reporting.[181][182] The Ministry further clarified in reports made on 1 and 4 April that it had "incomplete data" for 12,263 (later reduced 11,371) of its 33,091 reported fatalities.[183][184]

On 25 June Euro-Mediterranean Human Rights Monitor estimated 51,000 extra natural (non-casualty) deaths have resulted from the blockade and from the collapse of the health system.[185]

On 16 September 2024, the Gaza health ministry released another 649-page document, listing the names of 34,344 Palestinians who had been killed and identified by 31 August. The first 187 pages of the document entirely contained children who were under 16 years old.[186]

On 23 March 2025, after two months of collecting bodies during the ceasefire, the Gaza health ministry published a third document 1,516 pages long, listing the names of 50,021 Palestinians who had been killed. The first 350 pages of the document entirely contained children who were under 16 years old.[187]

### Missing and buried

[edit]

This section is an excerpt from Israeli bombing of the Gaza Strip § Missing persons.[edit]

Rescue teams searching for survivors under rubble, October 2023

On 15 October 2023, more than 1,000 people were reported missing beneath rubble.[222] On 27 October 2023, the World Health Organization stated more than 1,000 unidentified people were buried under rubble.[223] On 3 December 2023, the Palestinian Civil Defence stated the situation "beyond dire" as the organization was unable to rescue many people buried under rubble.[224]

Individuals were rescued by aid workers after reportedly surviving several days buried underneath rubble.[225] Emergency responders stated that part of what made rescue so difficult is that Israeli bombs tend to "flatten entire buildings".[226] On 24 February 2024, Dr. Paul B. Spiegel stated that total death counts were undercounts due to the large number of people under rubble, stating, "We projected the number of deaths that may be missing, and it was probably up to about ten to fifteen per cent more."[227] On 26 February 2024, Israeli warplanes bombed and destroyed an emergency rescue machinery in Beit Lahia.[228]

According to The New York Times, "The buried make up a shadow death toll in Gaza, a leaden asterisk to the health ministry's official tally of more than 31,000 dead".[229] In May 2024, U.S. doctor described the deterioration of rescue operations in Gaza, stating, "We hear bombs and before my thought used to be 'what patients are we going to meet tomorrow?' And now we hear bombs and no one comes."[230] The United Nations stated that more than 10,000 people were estimated to be buried under the rubble.[231] Dr. Marwan al-Hams stated the number was so high because of the lack of heavy equipment or fuel to dig through concrete and steel to rescue them.[232]

In late-June 2024 it was reported by Save the Children that up to 21,000 children are estimated to be missing due to the bombing and the ongoing war. While the organization acknowledged that it was difficult to collect and verify information in Gaza, it was believed that about 17,000 children were unaccompanied and separated, about 4,000 likely missing in the rubble and an unknown number in mass graves.[233] In July 2024, emergency crews stated there were many people trapped under debris in the Tel al-Hawa neighborhood following heavy attacks by Israel.[234]

Saadi Hassan Sulieman Baraka, a 64-year-old undertaker in Deir el-Balah, told Al Jazeera English in February 2024 that he had personally buried 17,000 people since October 2023.[235] By August 2024, the dead were buried throughout the Gaza Strip, including in public spaces such as yards and streets.[236] Scavenging animals have made it difficult to for emergency services to identify the bodies of killed Palestinians.[237] In an October 2024 article, a returning IDF troop spoke about IDF procedures involving armored bull dozers, that have made it more difficult in identifying and recovering bodies of deceased Palestinians. A former IDF soldier recounted to the Knesset that soldiers were instructed to "run over terrorists (in Gaza), dead and alive, in the hundreds" adding that "everything squirts out".[238]

Initially, Israel had reported 1,400 deaths from the attacks, but on 10 November it revised its casualty count to 1,200 after realizing that bodies that were so badly burnt[241] were not Israeli but rather those of Hamas fighters.[242][243] This included 859 civilians,[244] 283 soldiers,[245][246] 57 policemen,[n] and 10 Shin Bet members.[41]

Several thousand Gazan workers were in Israel at the time when the conflict started. As of 16 October some of them were detained at a "holding facility" in the West Bank while others sought refuge in the Palestinian communities of the West Bank.[278] The Minister of Labor for the Palestinian Authority estimated 4,500 workers are unaccounted for while Israeli media outlet N12 reported 4,000 Gazans were in Israeli holding facilities. The Palestinian Prisoners Society said that Israeli forces had arrested over 1,450 West Bank Palestinians since 7 October.[279] On 29 October 30 Israeli human rights organizations addressed settler violence in the West Bank, asking the international community to "act urgently" to end it.[280] On 30 October, the German government called on Israel to protect Palestinians in the West Bank.[281] On 31 October, EU chief diplomat Josep Borrell "firmly condemned" settler attacks in the West Bank.[282] Linda Thomas-Greenfield stated the United States was "deeply concerned," and condemned the killings of Palestinians in the West Bank.[283]

### Further details

[edit]

The Nepali ambassador to Israel, Kanta Rijal, said at least seven of its nationals in the country were injured in the attack, and that they along with ten others were held captive by Hamas at Kibbutz Alumim.[303] The Nepalese embassy later confirmed that 10 Nepalese students were killed during the attack in the kibbutz.[354] Israeli media also reported that migrant workers from Thailand and the Philippines were also taken captive by Palestinian militants.[254] The Philippine government confirmed that four Filipinos were killed[314] while two others were injured in the attacks, with authorities verifying reports of Filipinos being held captive by Hamas. 26 Filipinos were rescued by Israeli security forces,[355][356][357] while two Filipinos were unaccounted for.[314] At least 28 Thais were killed and 17 were captured by Hamas at Kibbutz Alumim. The reason for Hamas attacking the foreign workers' living quarters was because security guards successfully defended the main kibbutz residential area from invasion so they attacked softer targets. There were no guards stationed at the mostly Asian-inhabited living quarters.[358][359]

A German-Israeli national, Shani Louk, was killed while attending the Re'im music festival; a video of Palestinians parading her near-naked body in a car was circulated on the internet.[360][361][337][362] Several other German citizens were reported to be among those kidnapped by militants.[354] At least 17 British citizens were reported as dead or missing,[363] including one attendee of the music festival.[364][365] 18 Ukrainians,[296] a Cambodian student,[334] and a Chilean woman were confirmed to have been killed by Hamas.[366][367] 13 French citizens were killed, with an additional 17 missing, including four children.[368]

The Canadian government stated that three Canadians were killed, and that two other Canadians were missing. A Paraguayan couple was reported killed, with the government also reporting two nationals missing. An Irish attendee of the music festival was reported missing.[328] The Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Peru confirmed that a Peruvian-Israeli soldier was killed in action on the front line, while three remained missing. A Colombian couple attending the music festival was reported missing after the attack.[325] The Austrian Ministry of Foreign Affairs reported that three Austrian-Israeli dual nationals had been captured, and that one of them had later been confirmed dead.[318] South Africa's Department of International Relations and Cooperation confirmed that two citizens, including a dual national, were killed.[329]

In Gaza, a Ukrainian national was confirmed to have been killed.[296]

## Hostages in Gaza

[edit]

Posters in Tel Aviv calling for the return of Israeli hostages in Gaza

248 people were taken hostage during the Hamas-led attack on Israel, mostly civilians.[375][376][377] On 8 October, Palestinian Islamic Jihad claimed to be holding at least 30 captives.[378] At least four people were reported taken from Kfar Aza.[379] Videos from Gaza appeared to show captured people, with Gazan residents cheering trucks carrying dead bodies.[380] Israel reported four captives were killed in Be'eri,[381] while Hamas indicated that an IDF airstrike on Gaza on 9 October killed four captives.[382]

Civilians believed to be held captive in Gaza include families, children, festival-goers, peace activists, caregivers, and elders such as 75-year-old historian Alex Dancyg, who has written books on Poland's Jewish community and the Holocaust, was taken from Nir Oz.[377] Also at Nir Oz, six members of the Silberman-Bibas family were caught on video being taken from their home;[383][384] on 11 October, Hamas released a video showing three of them being let go near the border fence.[385] On 16 October, Hamas released a video of one of its hostages, a 21-year-old French Israeli woman who had sustained injuries to her arm and a scar.[386] On 20 October, Hamas released an American woman and her 17-year-old daughter who were taken while visiting relatives in Nahal Oz.[387][388] According to a report sent to the International Committee of the Red Cross by the Geneva-based organization Hostage and Missing Families Forum, hostages include people with Parkinson's disease, multiple sclerosis, cardiovascular disease, diabetes, cancer, dementia, autism and psychiatric disorders, who are "in urgent need of treatment and lifesaving medication", and are "prone to immediate mortality [without] essential medications and treatment." The report also expressed concern about untreated injuries induced during the attack.[389][390]

An open letter published in The Lancet by a group of 1,500 Israeli health-care professionals expressed shock at "the greatest loss of civilian life since the establishment of the state of Israel", and the indiscriminate "barbaric rampage" through "entire villages in the south of Israel", which it termed a "crime against humanity". The letter called on the international medical community to "condemn the savage massacre, to immediately call for guarantees for the safety and health of all those being kept hostage, and to unequivocally call for the immediate and unconditional return of our families and friends who have been cruelly taken hostage".[391]

American-Israeli author Robby Berman set up a fund offering a reward of 1 million Israeli shekels for the release of hostages in Gaza, specifically aimed at encouraging Palestinians to aid in the rescue of Jewish prisoners.[392]

## Palestinians imprisoned in Israel

[edit]

Main article: Mass detentions in the Gaza war

Thousands of Palestinians working in Israel on the eve of the war have gone missing. Human rights groups believe they have subjected to mass arrests by Israel, but Israel has refused to release the names of those whom they are holding.[279] According to testimonies obtained by HaMoked and Al-Jazeera some of these prisoners have been beaten by Israeli soldiers and denied access to contact the Red Cross.[279] Eight of the workers were interviewed by CNN made claims of torture, including being stripped naked, "viciously" beaten, including one account of electrocution. One prisoner reported; “They broke us and beat us with batons and metal sticks... they humiliated us... they have made us starve without food or water,” whilst another claimed "some people died on the way here because they were beaten and subjected to electric shocks." The interviewed workers were eventually returned to Gaza on 4 November. At least six human rights organizations in Israel have filed a petition to Israel's High Court arguing these detentions were "without legal authority and without legal grounds." Amani Sarahneh of Palestinian Prisoners Society and Dror Sadot of B’Tselem both described the issue as systemic, with Sadot stating in response; “We've been investigating this for so many years – the military enforcement system works as a whitewash mechanism with almost no indictments,” she said. “So they will say ‘those are the exception, not the rule,’ but if the impunity for soldiers continues – and not just the soldiers but also the policy itself – when no one's being held accountable, of course, things will just continue,”[393]

## Reactions and analysis

[edit]

Both Israel and Hamas have been accused of committing war crimes.[394][395] South Africa accused Israel of committing genocide in a case it brought before the International Court of Justice.[396] In a set of preliminary rulings, the court found that the Palestinians' rights under the genocide convention were plausibly in danger but did not rule on whether genocide was plausibly happening.[397][398] In June 2024, a UN Commission of Inquiry found the scale of Israel's killing of Palestinians constituted a crime against humanity.[399] Marwan Bishara, the senior political analyst at Al Jazeera English, argued that Israel's military campaign aimed to "eliminate anything that walks or breathes in Gaza".[400] Hani Mahmoud, a journalist on the ground in Gaza, wrote, "It's difficult to imagine that the Israeli military has any clear objective other than the mass murder of civilians inside their homes."[401]

In August 2024, the UNRWA Chief of Staff, Ben Majekodunmi, stated that the reported killing of 40,000 people since October 2023 was an "unspeakable tragedy".[402] Islamic Relief, a UK-based humanitarian organization, stated that the killing of 40,000 should be a "source of eternal global shame".[403] UN rights chief Volker Türk stated, "This unimaginable situation is overwhelmingly due to recurring failures by the Israeli Defense Forces to comply with the rules of war".[404] UNRWA spokesperson Louise Wateridge stated, "It does feel like people are waiting for death. Death seems to be the only certainty in this situation".[405]

In July 2024, correspondence published in British medical journal The Lancet issued a warning that casualty figures based on direct death tolls alone significantly underestimated the total, and conservatively estimated that the conflict up to June would in the coming months and years result in up to 186,000 deaths when direct and indirect deaths were accounted for.[406][6] Jean-François Corty, a humanitarian doctor and president of the NGO Doctors of the World, said that the Gaza Health Ministry's figures take into account the identified dead, "without taking into account all the dead left under the rubble of the bombardments, or the indirect victims who died because of a lack of care or access to care, or from being transported to a health centre. If you add those who are likely to die of malnutrition or as a result of wounds inflicted by Israeli bombardments in the weeks and months to come, because of the risks of superinfection and because their pathology will be treated late, then yes, the figure of 186,000 deaths mentioned in The Lancet is credible."[407] The Lancet correspondence has been criticized by the Chair of Every Casualty Counts network Michael Spagat, who wrote that it "lacks a solid foundation and is implausible".[408]

In January 2025, a peer-reviewed analysis was published in The Lancet regarding mortality due to traumatic injury in the Gaza Strip between 7 October 2023 and 30 June 2024. The research was conducted by scholars from the University of Cambridge, Yale University, London School of Hygiene and Tropical Medicine and Nagasaki University. The paper utilized a model with "three-list capture–recapture analysis using data from Palestinian Ministry of Health (MoH) hospital lists, an MoH online survey, and social media obituaries", and estimated 64,260 deaths from traumatic injury during this period, likely exceeding 70,000 by October 2024, with 59.1% of them being women, children and the elderly. It concluded the GHM undercounted trauma-related deaths by 41% in its reports. It also noted that its findings "underestimate the full impact of the military operation in Gaza, as they do not account for non-trauma-related deaths resulting from health service disruption, food insecurity, and inadequate water and sanitation."[409]

Residents now depend entirely on food supplies from outside Gaza, as they can no longer produce almost any food themselves. Most cultivated fields have been destroyed, and accessing open areas during the war is dangerous in any case. Bakeries, factories and food warehouses have been bombed or shut down due to lack of basic supplies, fuel and electricity."[155]

"In addition to killing people directly through traumatic injuries, wars cause "indirect deaths" by destroying, damaging, or causing deterioration of economic, social, psychological and health conditions. Most expansively, this report describes the causal pathways that can be expected to lead to far larger numbers of indirect deaths. These deaths result from diseases and other population-level health effects that stem from war's destruction of public infrastructure and livelihood sources, reduced access to water and sanitation, environmental damage, and other such factors. This report builds on a foundation of previous Costs of War research for its framework and methodology in covering the most significant chains of impact, or causal pathways, to indirect war deaths in Gaza and the West Bank. Unlike in combat, these deaths do not necessarily occur immediately or in the close aftermath of the battles which many observers focus on. While it will take years to assess the full extent of these population-level health effects, they will inevitably lead to far higher numbers of deaths than direct violence."
