Fatalities over time

Palestinian figures are Gaza MoH cumulative totals via Tech for Palestine. Israeli figures include the 7 October attacks baseline plus IDF soldier deaths in Gaza operations.

Gaza by governorate

Modeled share of Gaza fatalities — pre-war population weighted by UNOSAT damage assessment. Directional estimate only; the MoH publishes no official geographic breakdown.

West Bank settler violence

Cumulative settler attacks and Palestinian fatalities in the West Bank and East Jerusalem, reported by OCHA.

Source comparison

Different authorities count differently — by scope, verification standard, and methodology. The gap between official tolls and independent epidemiological estimates continues to widen.

Historical context · Al-Nakba

This war did not begin on 7 October 2023.

It is the most recent chapter of a dispossession that began in 1948 — al-Nakba, “the catastrophe.” To read the figures above without that history is to read them incomplete.

750,000+

Palestinians expelled or fled in 1948

530+

Palestinian villages depopulated or destroyed

15,000

Palestinians killed in 1947–49, incl. the Deir Yassin massacre

6M+

Registered Palestinian refugees today, descendants of 1948

Between the UN Partition Plan of November 1947 and the armistice of 1949, Zionist militias and the newly-formed Israeli military carried out a coordinated campaign — documented as Plan Dalet — that emptied more than half of Mandatory Palestine's Arab population. Villages were razed. Survivors were barred from returning under Israeli law. Their land, homes, and bank accounts were absorbed into the new state.

What began in 1948 never ended. The 1967 occupation extended it into the West Bank and Gaza. Decades of settlement expansion, home demolitions, and displacement in East Jerusalem, the Naqab, and the Jordan Valley continued it. Gaza has been under blockade since 2007. Palestinian scholars and UN experts increasingly describe the events since October 2023 as a second Nakba — this time televised, this time with more than 72,000 dead.

Notes & caveats

No figure is complete. Gaza MoH itself states thousands of dead remain under rubble. Peer-reviewed research published in The Lancet Global Health estimated 75,200 violent deaths through January 2025 — roughly 35% higher than the MoH count for the same period — and did not capture deaths from starvation, disease, or collapsed healthcare. As of 6 April 2026, independent reporting from Wikipedia's conflict tracker cites 73,459+ Palestinians killed, with Gaza MoH identifying 72,345 in its latest update; excess non-violent deaths likely push the true toll substantially higher.
OCHA relies on MoH for Gaza but independently verifies West Bank incidents. Its counts include fatalities from both Israeli military and settler attacks.
B'Tselem publishes a conservative, named-only database of verified individuals. Its totals trail MoH but document each death in detail.
Israeli soldier deaths are taken from IDF press releases and reporting by The Times of Israel. The count shown is soldiers killed in Gaza ground operations since 27 October 2023.
The governorate breakdown shown is a model, not a reported statistic. It distributes the overall Gaza total by pre-war population weighted for reported damage — directional only.
The dashboard is rebuilt from the Tech for Palestine API (which ingests OCHA flash updates and MoH briefings). Re-running the build pulls the latest daily data.

Built to honour the dead with accurate counts. Data is reported as published — every source has limitations. Numbers differ, but the scale is not in doubt.
