As of 21 May 2024, over 37,000 people (35,562 Palestinian[1] and 1,478 Israeli[13] have been reported as killed in the Israel–Hamas war, including 105 journalists (100 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 toll reported by the UN OCHA comes from the Gaza Health Ministry.[16] The breakdown of the figures in the UN OCHA report only includes casualties whose identities have been confirmed while the overall figure is the number of reported deaths.[17] Over 24,000 of the dead have been identified by the Gaza Health Ministry,[18] of these 52% are women and children, 40% are men and 8% are elderly of both sexes.[19] Some have speculated that the total death toll in Gaza might be higher than reported, with roughly 10,000 Gazans believed still buried under the rubble.[20][21][22][23] The number of deaths do not include those who have died from "preventable disease, malnutrition and other consequences of the war".[19]

The October 7 attacks on Israel killed 1,139 people, including 764 civilians and 373 Israeli security personnel. A further 252 persons were taken hostage during the initial attack on Israel to the Gaza Strip.[2][24][25] A further 479 Palestinians, including 116 children, and 9 Israelis have been killed in the West Bank (including East Jerusalem).[1] Casualties have also occurred in other parts of Israel, as well as in southern Lebanon, and Syria.[26]
