Note: The death toll is provided by the Hamas-led Gaza Ministry of Health.
The ministry collects information provided by the enclave’s hospitals and the Palestinian Red Crescent.
The Gaza Ministry of Health does not indicate how the Palestinians were killed, whether by Israeli airstrikes and/or barrages or by failed Palestinian missile attacks. It describes all victims as victims of “Israeli aggression” and also makes no distinction between civilians and combatants.
During the four wars and numerous skirmishes between Israel and Hamas, UN agencies regularly cited Ministry of Health data in their reports. The International Committee of the Red Cross and the Palestinian Red Crescent also use these figures.
In the aftermath of previous war incidents, the United Nations Humanitarian Office released casualty data based on its own research into medical records. The UN data largely agrees with that of the Gaza Ministry of Health, with some differences.
