As of August 6. 2025, over 61,158 Palestinians have been directly killed by Israel's 21-month-long invasion of Gaza. The early months of the conflict saw the largest number of fatalities, with over 30,000 deaths recorded within the first five months, and an average of approximately 1,600 deaths per month thereafter. 55,000 deaths is equal to approximately two percent of Gaza's prewar population. Additionally, there have been almost 140,000 recorded injuries. Many injuries go unreported due to limited healthcare resources and capacity. Attacks on hospitals, medical shortages, and electricity outages, and many other factors, have severely impeded the medical response to the war. Many operations are conducted without anesthetic and antibiotics, and Gaza now has the highest number of child amputees per capita in the world. The true death toll? The United Nations and many humanitarian organizations believe the Gaza Health Ministry's (GHM) figures to be a significant undercount, with thousands of Gazans still unaccounted for. The GHM also does not include deaths of those who die due to preventable causes, such as disease, malnutrition, or disruptions to healthcare services. Some estimates from the past year have been in excess of 100,000 deaths. Trustworthiness of the Gaza Health Ministry's figures These figures come from the Gaza Health Ministry. There were some claims this source was untrustworthy in the war's early stages, especially following comments made by President Joe Biden; however, both the U.S. and Israeli intelligence services have since deemed these figures to be generally reliable. Nonetheless, the U.S. House of Representatives controversially passed an amendment in mid-2024 that would prevent the U.S. government from citing the GHM's figures.
