State of Palestine (West Bank and Gaza) Crude Death Rate: per 1000 Population: Gaza Strip data remains active status in CEIC and is reported by Palestinian Central Bureau of Statistics. The data is categorized under Global Database’s State of Palestine (West Bank and Gaza) – Table PS.G002: Vital Statistics.

As part of the 2014 Operation Protective Edge, the Israeli military campaign in Gaza lasted ** days, in which they attacked targets of Hamas and other terror groups. On October 7, 2023, the Israeli Defense Forces (IDF) initiated Operation Iron Swords as a reaction to Hamas’s terror attacks on Israeli soil. During the terror attacks, Hamas fired around ************** rockets on Israeli territories within a few hours and killed hundreds of Israelis close to the Gazan border. Approximately ***** Israelis have died during this ongoing military action. Within the Gaza Strip, over *********** people were killed, and more than *** million people have fled their homes and are internally displaced.

The estimated population of the Gaza Strip for 2023 was around 2.1 million people. The Palestinian population of Gaza is relatively young when compared globally. More than half of Gazans are 19 years or younger. This is due to the comparably high fertility rate in the Gaza Strip of *** children per woman as of 2022.

Since the terrorist organization Hamas launched its attacks on Israeli soil on October 7, 2023, around 1,200 Israelis died, and 5,431 were injured. Through retaliation attacks by the Israeli armed forces against Hamas in Gaza, 56,156 Palestinians were killed, and 132.239 were injured. As of January 2025, the number of Palestinian deaths in the West Bank was 924, due to the on going conflict. Information on the data situation Data on the number of fatalities and injuries are based on the UNOCHA (United Nations Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs) reporting by both parties to the conflict. The respective data sources were named for the purpose of transparency. It must be stated that in the case of wars and other conflicts, objective data collection is almost impossible, and reports are based on estimates. At the same time, it needs to be noted that some parties to the conflict may use numbers and data selectively for their own agenda. Hamas attacks on Israel on October 7th, 2023 Before October 2023, there had been four wars between Israel and Hamas. The current conflict is already the deadliest, and the death toll is certain to rise. The new escalation of violence in the Middle East started after the militant Palestinian group Hamas attacked Israel in the early hours of October 7, 2023. An estimated 2,200 rockets were fired by Hamas from Gaza toward Israeli targets, hitting civilian buildings and military facilities. Hamas fighters entered the Israeli territory, killing around 1,200 of Israeli citizens. In the weeks that followed, the Israeli military conducted an aerial bombardment and launched a ground offensive in Gaza. Humanitarian pauses allowed aid to get into Gaza, but fighting has continued since a weeklong cease-fire ended on December 1, 2023. Operation Iron Swords and the humanitarian situation of Gaza Initially, Israel reacted to the Hamas attacks with further isolation of the Gaza Strip, cutting off the supply of electricity, fuel, and drinking water. As of November 6, 2023, water supply to parts of the Gaza Strip has been resumed. The Israeli Defense Forces (IDF) summoned the Palestinians to evacuate the northern part of the Gaza Strip towards the south of Gaza in the direction of the Egyptian border. This affects around 1.93 million people out of the 2.06 million inhabitants of Gaza. According to the UN, over one million people are internally displaced inside the Gaza Strip. Some trucks with relief supplies could infrequently enter the territory via the Rafah border from Egypt. This Israeli military operation is one of the longest-lasting in Gaza, and over 6,000 bombs were already dropped by the IDF.

This dataset is part of a PhD research project investigating the impacts of armed conflict on water management in the Middle East. It contains the primary data collected in the context of a case study on the Gaza Strip, covering several localities within the territory. Data collection took place between June 2018 and March 2019 in collaboration between the University of Twente and the Islamic University of Gaza through the Palestinian-Dutch Academic Cooperation Programme on Water (PADUCO) project 'Multi-Level Contextual Factors of Local Water Management in the West Bank and the Gaza Strip.' The dataset also contains a list of secondary data sources, most of which are publicly available.

The number of fatalities amongst the Palestinian population in the West Bank and Gaza between 2008 and September 2023 stood at ***** and the number of injured people was *******. While the majority of fatalities amongst the Palestinians were in the Gaza Strip, more than half of the injured were based in the West Bank. Hamas attacks on Israel on October 7, 2023 The radical Islamic Palestinian terror organization Hamas attacked Israel in the early hours of October 7, 2023, on Sabbath - the Jewish day of rest. This strategic attack from Gaza was directed towards Israeli civilians and armed forces. An estimated ***** rockets were fired by Hamas from Gaza toward Israeli targets, hitting civilian buildings and military facilities. Hamas fighters entered the Israeli territory, killing around ***** of Israeli citizens. In the weeks that followed, the Israeli military conducted an aerial bombardment and launched a ground offensive in Gaza. Humanitarian pauses allowed aid to get into Gaza, but fighting has continued since a weeklong cease-fire ended on December 1, 2023. The attacks resulted in a massive escalation of the Middle Eastern conflict, which pushed a political solution further away. The number of civilian casualties in Gaza and Israel is rising each day the conflict continues. Before October 2023, there had been four wars between Israel and Hamas. The current conflict is already the deadliest, and the death toll is certain to rise.

</ul>International migrant stock is the number of people born in a country other than that in which they live. It also includes refugees. The data used to estimate the international migrant stock at a particular time are obtained mainly from population censuses. The estimates are derived from the data on foreign-born population--people who have residence in one country but were born in another country. When data on the foreign-born population are not available, data on foreign population--that is, people who are citizens of a country other than the country in which they reside--are used as estimates. After the breakup of the Soviet Union in 1991 people living in one of the newly independent countries who were born in another were classified as international migrants. Estimates of migrant stock in the newly independent states from 1990 on are based on the 1989 census of the Soviet Union. For countries with information on the international migrant stock for at least two points in time, interpolation or extrapolation was used to estimate the international migrant stock on July 1 of the reference years. For countries with only one observation, estimates for the reference years were derived using rates of change in the migrant stock in the years preceding or following the single observation available. A model was used to estimate migrants for countries that had no data.

This report provides maps, location data, and an initial brief analysis of the Israeli/American/GHF aid distribution compounds rapidly constructed and beginning to operate in Gaza in May of 2025. The overall geographic relation of these compounds to Gazan populations and to the infrastructures of Israeli military control of Gaza, and, also, their consistent internal architecture, all suggest their design is predominantly responsive to Israeli military strategy and tactics rather than aimed at a broad humanitarian relief intervention. As with prior reports in this series, it is rapidly written to provide real-time inputs to unfolding events. Additional data layers available upon request.

According to estimates for 2023, the number of Palestinians in Gaza aged 0 to 4 was *******. That year, more than half of Gaza's estimated **** million inhabitants were below 20 years old.

Abstract

The Palestinian society's access to information and communication technology tools is one of the main inputs to achieve social development and economic change to the status of Palestinian society; on the basis of its impact on the revolution of information and communications technology that has become a feature of this era. Therefore, and within the scope of the efforts exerted by the Palestinian Central Bureau of Statistics in providing official Palestinian statistics on various areas of life for the Palestinian community, PCBS implemented the household survey for information and communications technology for the year 2023. The main objective of this report is to present the trends of accessing and using information and communication technology by households and individuals in Palestine, and enriching the information and communications technology database with indicators that meet national needs and are in line with international recommendations.

Kind of data

Sample survey data [ssd]

Sampling procedure

Sampling Frame The sampling frame consists of master sample which were enumerated in the 2017 census. Each enumeration area consists of buildings and housing units with an average of about 150 households. These enumeration areas are used as primary sampling units (PSUs) in the first stage of the sampling selection.

Sample Size The sample size is 8,040 households.

Sampling Design The sample is three stages stratified cluster (pps) sample. The design comprised three stages: Stage (1): Selection a stratified sample of 536 enumeration areas with (pps) method. Stage (2): Selection a stratified random sample of 15 households from each enumeration area selected in the first stage. Stage (3): Selection one person of the (10 years and above) age group in a random method by using KISH TABLES.

Sample Strata The population was divided by: 1- Governorate (16 governorates, where Jerusalem was considered as two statistical areas) 2- Type of Locality (urban, rural, camps).

Mode of data collection

Computer Assisted Personal Interview [capi]

Research instrument

Questionnaire The survey questionnaire consists of identification data, quality controls and three main sections: Section I: Data on household members that include identification fields, the characteristics of household members (demographic and social) such as the relationship of individuals to the head of household, sex, date of birth and age.

Section II: Household data include information regarding computer processing, access to the Internet, and possession of various media and computer equipment. This section includes information on topics related to the use of computer and Internet, as well as supervision by households of their children (5-17 years old) while using the computer and Internet, and protective measures taken by the household in the home.

Section III: Data on Individuals (10 years and above) about computer use, access to the Internet, possession of a mobile phone, information threats, and E-commerce.

Cleaning operations

Field Editing and Supervising

• Data collection and coordination were carried out in the field according to the pre-prepared plan, where instructions, models and tools were available for fieldwork. • Audit process on the PC-Tablet is through the establishment of all automated rules and the office on the program to cover all the required controls according to the criteria specified. • For the privacy of Jerusalem (J1) data were collected in a paper questionnaire. Then the supervisor verifies the questionnaire in a formal and technical manner according to the pre-prepared audit rules. • Fieldwork visits was carried out by the project coordinator, supervisors and project management to check edited questionnaire and the performance of fieldworkers.

Data Processing

Programming Consistency Check The data collection program was designed in accordance with the questionnaire's design and its skips. The program was examined more than once before the conducting of the training course by the project management where the notes and modifications were reflected on the program by the Data Processing Department after ensuring that it was free of errors before going to the field.

Using PC-tablet devices reduced data processing stages, and fieldworkers collected data and sent it directly to server, and project management withdraw the data at any time.

In order to work in parallel with Jerusalem (J1), a data entry program was developed using the same technology and using the same database used for PC-tablet devices.

Data Cleaning After the completion of data entry and audit phase, data is cleaned by conducting internal tests for the outlier answers and comprehensive audit rules through using SPSS program to extract and modify errors and discrepancies to prepare clean and accurate data ready for tabulation and publishing.

Response rate

The response rate reached 83.7%.

Sampling error estimates

Sampling Errors Data of this survey affected by sampling errors due to use of the sample and not a complete enumeration. Therefore, certain differences are expected in comparison with the real values obtained through censuses. Variance were calculated for the most important indicators, there is no problem to disseminate results at the national level and at the level of the West Bank and Gaza Strip.

Non-Sampling Errors Non-Sampling errors are possible at all stages of the project, during data collection or processing. These are referred to non-response errors, response errors, interviewing errors and data entry errors. To avoid errors and reduce their effects, strenuous efforts were made to train the field workers intensively. They were trained on how to carry out the interview, what to discuss and what to avoid, as well as practical and theoretical training during the training course.

The implementation of the survey encountered non-response where the case (household was not present at home) during the fieldwork visit become the high percentage of the non-response cases. The total non-response rate reached 16.3%.

The number of civilian casualties in Gaza and Israel is rising each day the conflict continues. Humanitarian situation in Gaza Following Hamas' attacks on Israel, the Israeli military responded with airstrikes against positions of Hamas in the Gaza Strip and cut the region's supply. The Israeli military warned parts of Gaza about their air strikes and urged the population to leave their houses and seek refuge in the centers. Israel isolated the Gaza Strip from the outside world and stopped the supply of electricity, food, and fuel. On October 13, 2023, Israel prompted the Palestinian population of Gaza to vacate the region of northern Gaza. Around one million of the **** million Gazans dwelled in northern Gaza in high density.

Abstract

The Agricultural Census aims in general to establish an updated, detailed and accurate holdings database to assist in planning and policy making at all levels related to the agricultural sector. It also aims in specific to provide data on the structure of agriculture, especially for small administrative and geographical units, rare items, and to enable detailed cross-tabulations, and to provide data that can be used as a benchmark for reconciliation of current agricultural statistics; and for setting estimates for subsequent years, in addition to provide frames for agricultural sampling surveys.

Geographic coverage

The census also covered all geographical levels in the West Bank and Gaza Strip, so that: 1. Implementation of a comprehensive listing in Gaza Strip that enumeration areas represent more than 5% of households that practice agricultural activity, according to the Population, Housing and Establishments Census, 2017 data. 2. Visiting the households that practiced agricultural activity according to data of Population, Housing and Establishments Census, 2017 in the enumerated areas, where the percentage of households that practiced an agricultural activity is 1-4%. 3. Implementation of a comprehensive listing in the West Bank for all localities except camps and city centers in the following governorates (Nablus, Ramallah & Al-Bireh, Hebron and J2 in Jerusalem Governorate). 4. Implementation of a comprehensive listing in the enumeration areas of camps and city centers in the following governorates (Nablus, Ramallah, Al-Bireh, Hebron and J2 of Jerusalem Governorate), for households that practiced agricultural activity according to data of Population, Housing and Establishments Census 2017, more than 5%, and visiting the households that practiced agricultural activity according to data of Population, Housing and Establishments Census 2017 in the enumerated areas, where the percentage of households that practiced an agricultural activity is 1-4% in the same locality mentioned above. 5. About Jerusalem J1, a different methodology is applied in two phases. In the first phase, research and investigation are carried out in cooperation with responsible and dignitaries in Jerusalem J1 on agricultural holdings and holders, and in the second phase, enumeration of the holdings that were monitored in the first phase.

Sampling error estimates

The sampling errors occur during the sample-based surveys but not in censuses as it is a comprehensive inventory of all agricultural holdings. These errors are easy to measure with the error point estimate also, since it is considered as an error in the sample.

Data appraisal

The non-sampling errors occur at any stage during the implementation of censuses and surveys. Therefore, it is necessary to provide for a data quality control system to ensure maximum accuracy. Many of these stages were used during the agriculture census planning and implementation where are-interview was carried out as follows:

• There are two models that were used to collect data and were uploaded to tablets. The first model is to enumerate households in all enumeration areas; in which the percentage of households that practiced an agricultural activity (according to the data of the Population, Housing and Establishments Census, 2017) is 5% or more, and the second model was used if the household had agricultural holdings.

• The enumerator visited Palestinian households in the enumeration areas in which the percentage of households that practiced agricultural activity (according to the data of the Population, Housing and Establishments Census, 2017) is less than 5%, so that the inventory model and the model prepared for agricultural holdings were if the tenure conditions were met.
