    Description

    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 3.5 children per woman as of 2022.

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 three thousand rockets on Israeli territories within a few hours and killed hundreds of Israelis close to the Gazan border. Approximately 1,200 Israelis have died during this ongoing military action. Within the Gaza Strip, over 47 thousand people were killed, and more than 1.9 million people have fled their homes and are internally displaced.

    Description

    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, 47,540 Palestinians were killed, and 111,618 were injured. As of January 2025, the number of Palestinian deaths in the West Bank was 1,004, 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.

    Description

    Abstract

    The main objective of the PHC-2007 is to provide figures for the Palestinian population and their geographical distribution in accordance with a number of relatively stable basic characteristics to inform socioeconomic development purposes. Preparations for conducting censuses take usually 3-5 years for piloting, testing tools, work plans, human and physical needs and timetable. The census is one of the most important statistical activities as it provides statistical data on the distribution of population, and their demographic, social and economic characteristics in a certain reference period of time for all the individuals within the borders of the state.

    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 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.

    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.

    Description

    Abstract

    The survey is designed to collect, analyze, and disseminate demographic and health data pertaining to the Palestinian population living in the Palestinian Territory, with a focus on demography, fertility, infertility, family planning, unmet needs, and maternal and child health, in addition to youth and the elderly. The 2010 survey includes new sections and elements, such as basic health and socio-economic information on different groups within the population: ever married woman less than 55 years and children aged less than five years, child labor in the age 5-14 years, child discipline 2-14 years, person education 5-24 years, youth aged 15-29 years, and elderly people over the age of 60.

    Geographic coverage

    The Data are representative at region level (West Bank, Gaza Strip), locality type (urban, rural, camp) and governorates

    Analysis unit

    Household, individual

    Universe

    The survey covered all the Palestinian households who are a usual residence in the Palestine.

    Kind of data

    Sample survey data [ssd]

    Sampling procedure

    Target Population The target population of the survey consists of all the following groups: 1- All Palestinian households normally residing in the Palestinian Territory. 2- Females aged 15 - 54 years. 3- Elderly people aged 60 or over. 4- Children aged 0 - 14 years and divided into the following categories: 0-5 years, 2-14 years, 5-14 years, with parts of the questionnaire customized for each group. 5- Youth aged 15 - 29 years and divided into the following categories: 15-24 years, 25-29 years, with parts of the questionnaire customized for youth.

    Sampling Frame We relied on sampling frames established in PCBS and basically comprising the list of enumeration areas. (The enumeration area is a geographical area containing a number of buildings and housing units of about 120 housing units on average.)

    The total frame consists of the following two parts:

    1- West Bank and Gaza Sampling Frame: containing enumeration areas drawn up in 2007. In the West Bank: each enumeration area consists of a list of households with identification data to ascertain the address of individual households. In Gaza: each enumeration area contains a list of housing units with addresses to ascertain the address of individual households, plus identification data of the housing units.

    2- Jerusalem Sampling Frame (inside checkpoints): contains enumeration areas only, geographically divided with information about the total number of households in these areas. However, there is no detailed information about addresses inside enumeration areas and the size of the enumeration area can be ascertained without the ability to identify the addresses.

    Design Strata In the survey, two variables were chosen to divide the population into strata, depending on the homogeneity of parts of the population. Previous studies have shown that Palestinian households may be divided as follows: 1- Governorates: there are 16 governorates in the Palestinian Territory: 11 governorates in the West Bank and 5 in the Gaza Strip. 2- Locality Types: there are three types : urban, rural and refugee camps. All the available frames contain the strata variables. Sample Size We use the following formula to estimate the sample size:

        n  =  [(1.15) f(1-r) (r)4]  
      [(nh) p2(r0.07)]  
    

    Where: - n: sample size requested for the main indicator or main estimate - 4: is a factor to achieve a 95 percent level of confidence - r is the predicted or anticipated prevalence (coverage rate) for the indicator - being estimated - 1.15 is the factor necessary to raise the sample size by 20 percent for non-response - f is the design effect - 0.07r is the margin of error to be tolerated at the 95 percent level of confidence, defined as 7 percent of r (7 percent represents the relative sampling error of r) - p is the proportion of the total population upon which the indicator, r, is based - nh is the average household size

    To estimate the sample size of the survey we rely on the percentage of children under 5 years who suffer from stunting. We consider it as the main indicator for the survey (r) and it equals 10.2% (from MICS3 data -2006). Also, by returning to census data in 2007 we find the percentage of children aged 0 - 4 years =14.1%. Finally, the sample size = 15,355

    Sample Design and Type After determining the sample size, which equals 15456 households, we selected a probability sample - a multi-stage stratified cluster sample as follows: 1- First stage: selecting a sample of clusters (enumeration areas) using PPS without replacement method to obtain 644 enumeration areas from the total enumeration area frame. 2- Second stage: selecting 24 households from each selected enumeration area of the first stage and using the systematic sample method. When reaching households, we enumerate all the targeted individuals from the groups: women (15-54) years, elderly aged 60 and more, children aged 0-5 years. 3- Third stage: selecting one child of age group 2-14 years for part of the questionnaire and one young person from the 15-29 age group to answer the youth attachment in the questionnaire. We use the Kish table to select one person at random.

    Mode of data collection

    Face-to-face [f2f]

    Research instrument

    The design of the survey complied with the standard specifications of health surveys previously implemented by PCBS. In addition, the survey included indicators of MICS4 to meet the needs of all partners.

        1.  Main questionnaire with the following parts:
         · Household questionnaire: Covers demographic and educational characteristics, chronic disease, smoking, discipline of children (2-14 years), child labor (5-14 years), education of children (5-24 years) and housing characteristics.
    
         · Health of women (15-54 years) regardless of marital status, awareness about AIDS, anemia in women (15-49 years).
    
         · Ever married women (15-54 years): Covers general characteristics of qualified women, reproduction, child mortality, maternal care, reproductive morbidity, family planning, and attitudes towards reproduction.
    
         · Children under age of 5: Covers children's health, vaccination against childhood diseases, early childhood development, chronic disease, and anemia.
    
    
     2. Attached questionnaires
        ·  Youth questionnaire (15-29 years): Covers general characteristics, awareness and perception of family planning, health status, awareness about sexually transmitted diseases and reproduction.
    
        ·  Elderly questionnaire (60 years and over): Covers general characteristics, social relations, activities, time-use, health status, and use of mass media.
    

    Cleaning operations

    Data editing took place at a number of stages through the processing including:

    1. office editing and coding
    2. during data entry
    3. structure checking and completeness
    4. structural checking of SPSS data files

    Response rate

    The survey sample consists of about 15,355 households of which 13,629 households completed the interview; whereas 8,740 households from the West Bank and 4,889 households in Gaza Strip. Weights were modified to account for non-response rate. The response rate in the West Bank reached 90.5% while in the Gaza Strip it reached 94.8%. The response rate in the Palestinian Territory reached 92.0%.

    Sampling error estimates

    Detailed information on the sampling Error is available in the Survey Report.

    Data appraisal

    Different methods were applied in the assessment of the survey data, including: 1. Occurrences of missing values and answers like "other" and "do not know". 2. Examining inconsistencies between the various sections of the questionnaire, including within record and cross-record consistencies. 3. Comparability of data with previous surveys 2000, 2006 and showed logical homogeneity in the results. The results of these assessment procedures show that the data are of high quality and consistency.

    Kind of data

    Sample survey data [ssd]

    Sampling procedure

    The sample of this survey is implemented periodically every quarter by PCBS since 1995, where this survey is implemented every quarter in the year (distributed over 13 weeks). The sample is a two-stage stratified cluster sample with two stages: First stage: selection of a stratified sample of 536 EA with (pps) method. Second stage: selection of a random area sample of 15 households from each enumeration area selected in the first stage. The estimated sample size in each quarter was 8,040 households in 2023. The size of the sample was 8,040 households in each quarter of the year 2023, as the survey was conducted according to the designed sample in the West Bank. for Gaza Strip, the survey was implemented in the first three quarters of 2023 only due to the war and the possibility of implementing it in the Gaza Strip.

    Mode of data collection

    Computer Assisted Personal Interview [capi]

    Research instrument

    The lfs questionnaire consists of four main sections: Identification Data: The main objective for this part is to record the necessary information to identify the household, such as, cluster code, sector, type of locality, cell, housing number and the cell code. Quality Control: This part involves groups of controlling standards to monitor the field and office operation, to keep in order the sequence of questionnaire stages (data collection, field and office coding, data entry, editing after entry and store the data. Household Roster: This part involves demographic characteristics about the household, like number of persons in the household, date of birth, sex, educational level…etc. Employment Part: This part involves the major research indicators, where one questionnaire had been answered by every 10 years and over household member, to be able to explore their labour force status and recognize their major characteristics toward employment status, economic activity, occupation, place of work, and other employment indicators.

    Cleaning operations

    All questionnaires were edited after data entry in order to minimize errors related data entry.

    Response rate

    The response rate was 98.8% in the fourth quarter 2023 in the West Bank only

    The response rate was 86.2% in the first quarter 2023 The response rate was 83.7% in the third quarter 2023 The response rate was 83.6% in the second quarter 2023

    Sampling error estimates

    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 governorates of the West Bank and Gaza Strip.

    Data appraisal

    The concept of data quality encompasses various aspects, started with planning of the survey to how to publish, understand and benefit from the data. The most important components of statistical quality elements are accuracy, comparability and quality control procedures

    Description

    As of January 14, 2025, the UN estimated that around 1.9 million refugees are currently sheltered in school buildings operated by the United Nations Relief and Works Agency for Palestine Refugees in the Near East (UNRWA). Around ** percent of Gaza's total population has been displaced due to the ongoing conflict. This was caused by attacks of radical Islamic Hamas' attacks on Israeli territory and the consequent counterstrikes of the Israeli military. 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. 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. About half of the Gazan population is underaged. Since the terrorist organization Hamas launched its attacks on Israeli soil on October 7, 2023, around ***** Israelis have died, and ***** have been injured. Through retaliation attacks by the Israeli armed forces against Hamas in Gaza, over 47 thousand Palestinians have died, and around 99 thousand have been injured. There were ***** confirmed Palestinians killed in the Westbank through the ongoing conflict. Hamas's attack on Israel was the deadliest so far.
