Cumulative casualty figures from the Palestinian Ministry of Health and Government Media Office, delivered live via the Tech For Palestine dataset. Confirmed counts only — a floor, not a ceiling. Auto-refreshes every 5 minutes.
These are confirmed, individually-counted deaths reported by health authorities — an administrative floor, not an epidemiological total. They do not include most indirect deaths from the collapse of the health system, disease, hunger, and lack of shelter, nor bodies still under rubble or uncounted.
A peer-reviewed field survey published in The Lancet Global Health (Spagat et al., 2026) estimated roughly 75,000 violent deaths in Gaza's first ~16 months — above the confirmed count for that period — and separately estimated substantial additional non-violent excess deaths. Independent researchers broadly agree the true toll exceeds the reported figure.
Impact ratio uses Gaza's pre-war population of ~2.2 million (PCBS). Context figures in this section are updated periodically, not live.
