Template:Israel–Hamas war casualties

As of 17 July 2024, over 40,000 people (39,145 Palestinian[1] and 1,478 Israeli[13]) have been reported as killed in the Israel–Hamas war, including 108 journalists (103 Palestinian, 2 Israeli and 3 Lebanese)[14] and over 224 humanitarian aid workers, including 179 employees of UNRWA.[15]

The vast majority of casualties have been in the Gaza Strip. The death tolls reported by the UNOCHA come from Gaza Health Ministry (GHM).[16] The casualty total includes all reported deaths, while the demographic breakdown uses only casualties with associated identities.[17] The GHM announced on 30 April 2024 that 24,686 casualties had been specifically identified through hospitals, family members, and media reports;[18] of these, 52% were women and minors, 43% were men over 18, and 5% were not identified by age or sex.[19] The GHM count does not include those who have died from "preventable disease, malnutrition and other consequences of the war".[20] An analysis by the Gaza Health Projections Working Group predicted thousands of excess deaths from disease and birth complications.[21]

The 7 October attacks on Israel killed 1,139 people, including 815 civilians.[22] A further 251 persons were taken hostage during the initial attack on Israel to the Gaza Strip.[2][23][24] 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, and Syria.[25]
