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.
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, 61,158 Palestinians were killed, and 151,442 were injured. As of August 2025, the number of Palestinian deaths in the West Bank was 955, 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.

As of July 16. 2025, over 58,500 Palestinians have been directly killed by Israel's 20-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.

Since Israel's establishment within the Palestinian state in 1948, the relationship between Palestinians and Israelis has been tense and, at times, violent. In the past few years, it has been reported that Israeli citizens have started settlements on Palestinian territory in the Gaza Strip and West Bank. This has led to increased physical violence between Israelis and Palestinians in these zones; however, when considering the technological advantage of Israel over Palestine, the deaths of Palestinians has grown exponentially in recent years. Many of these deaths are made up by non-military Palestinians that have gotten caught in cross fire or exploded by shells.To display this humanitarian crisis, I mapped the current Palestinian territories, separated by major cities. Each of these separated areas holds the total value of Palestinian deaths within from 2019 through the beginning of 2023. These totals can be viewed by clicking on the different colored polygons. Access to medical care is also a pressing issue in Palestine, especially when considering the uptake in violence, so I mapped the known medical sites in each region. The names and types (clinic, hospital, etc.) of these medical sites can be viewed if you click on the white circles containing green crosses.Along with these mapped features, you may view the city-regions containing the highest and lowest sums of death in the book marked section. I also created a bar graph that clearly displays the total number of deaths in each city-region from least to most.Palestinian Administrative Boundaries: Palestinian Subnational Administrative Boundaries obtained from The Humanitarian Data Exchange through a file download (https://data.humdata.org/dataset/cod-ab-pse). Health Sites: Palestinian medical sites taken from AmeriGEO using a Geojson URL (https://data.amerigeoss.org/ro/dataset/palestine-healthsites/resource/dce3fa8c-5c41-40d8-9a10-c77b6040f934?view_id=df9e8a7e-1e51-42ac-a2cc-6705bb97c642). Sum of Palestinian Deaths by City-Region: This site provides the Palestinian death count per city/region; I downloaded a file containing these counts. I then used the join tool to join the death count table to the administrative boundaries table using the mutual "City" field. I then used the summarize tool to sum the total number of deaths per city-region, using a graduated color map to display the different values (https://statistics.btselem.org/en/all-fatalities/by-date-of-incident?section=overall&tab=overview).

In 2022, over ******* Palestinian workers from the West Bank and Gaza were employed in Israel. Between 1996 and 1999, prior to the second intifada, the number of Palestinian employees increased on average by almost ** percent per year. In 2020, the number of workers crossing into Israel fell due to the coronavirus pandemic. Subsequently, between 2020 and 2022, the number of workers from the Palestinian territories, grew again by about ** percent a year on average. Following the start of the Israel-Hamas war on October 7, 2023, the Israeli government significantly reduced the number of the Palestinians permitted to work in Israel.
On the eve of October 7, 2023, approximately 165,000 Palestinian workers from the West Bank and Gaza worked in Israel. Following the outbreak of the Israel-Hamas war, the number of Palestinians permitted to work in Israeli towns was sharply reduced to just 15,000. Over recent decades, the Israeli and Palestinian economies have grown interdependent, particularly in the construction and agricultural sectors.
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.

THE CLEANED AND HARMONIZED VERSION OF THE SURVEY DATA PRODUCED AND PUBLISHED BY THE ECONOMIC RESEARCH FORUM REPRESENTS 100% OF THE ORIGINAL SURVEY DATA COLLECTED BY THE PALESTINIAN CENTRAL BUREAU OF STATISTICS
The Palestinian Central Bureau of Statistics (PCBS) carried out four rounds of the Labor Force Survey 2021 (LFS). The survey rounds covered a total sample of about 25,179 households (about 6,300 households per quarter).
The main objective of collecting data on the labour force and its components, including employment, unemployment and underemployment, is to provide basic information on the size and structure of the Palestinian labour force. Data collected at different points in time provide a basis for monitoring current trends and changes in the labour market and in the employment situation. These data, supported with information on other aspects of the economy, provide a basis for the evaluation and analysis of macro-economic policies.
The raw survey data provided by the Statistical Agency were cleaned and harmonized by the Economic Research Forum, in the context of a major project that started in 2009. During which extensive efforts have been exerted to acquire, clean, harmonize, preserve and disseminate micro data of existing labor force surveys in several Arab countries.
Covering a representative sample on the region level (West Bank, Gaza Strip), the locality type (urban, rural, camp) and the governorates.
1- Household/family. 2- Individual/person.
The survey covered all Palestinian households who are a usual residence of the Palestinian Territory.

THE CLEANED AND HARMONIZED VERSION OF THE SURVEY DATA PRODUCED AND PUBLISHED BY THE ECONOMIC RESEARCH FORUM REPRESENTS 100% OF THE ORIGINAL SURVEY DATA COLLECTED BY THE PALESTINIAN CENTRAL BUREAU OF STATISTICS
The methodology was designed according to the context of the survey, international standards, data processing requirements and comparability of outputs with other related surveys.
---> Target Population: It consists of all individuals aged 10 years and Above and there are staying normally with their households in the state of Palestine during 2020.
---> Sampling Frame: The sampling frame consists of a comprehensive sample selected from the Population, Housing and Establishments Census 2017: This comprehensive sample consists of geographical areas with an average of 150 households, and these are considered as enumeration areas used in the census and these units were used as primary sampling units (PSUs).
---> Sampling Size: The estimated sample size is 8,040 households in each quarter of 2021.
---> Sample Design The sample is two stage stratified cluster sample with two stages : First stage: we select a systematic random sample of 536 enumeration areas for the whole round. Second stage: we select a systematic random sample of 15 households from each enumeration area selected in the first stage.
---> Sample strata: The population was divided by: 1- Governorate (17 governorates, where Jerusalem was considered as two statistical areas) 2- Type of Locality (urban, rural, refugee camps).
---> Sample Rotation: Each round of the Labor Force Survey covers all of the 536 master sample enumeration areas. Basically, the areas remain fixed over time, but households in 50% of the EAs were replaced in each round. The same households remain in the sample for two consecutive rounds, left for the next two rounds, then selected for the sample for another two consecutive rounds before being dropped from the sample. An overlap of 50% is then achieved between both consecutive rounds and between consecutive years (making the sample efficient for monitoring purposes).
Face-to-face [f2f]
The survey questionnaire was designed according to the International Labour Organization (ILO) recommendations. The questionnaire includes four main parts:
---> 1. 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.
---> 2. 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.
---> 3. Household Roster: This part involves demographic characteristics about the household, like number of persons in the household, date of birth, sex, educational level…etc.
---> 4. Employment Part: This part involves the major research indicators, where one questionnaire had been answered by every 15 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.
---> Raw Data PCBS started collecting data since 1st quarter 2020 using the hand held devices in Palestine excluding Jerusalem in side boarders (J1) and Gaza Strip, the program used in HHD called Sql Server and Microsoft. Net which was developed by General Directorate of Information Systems. From the beginning of March 2020, with the spread of the COVID-19 pandemic and the home quarantine imposed by the government, the personal (face to face) interview was replaced by the phone interview for households who had phone numbers from previous rounds, and for those households that did not have phone numbers, they were referred to and interviewed in person (face to face interview). Using HHD reduced the data processing stages, the fieldworkers collect data and sending data directly to server then the project manager can withdrawal the data at any time he needs. In order to work in parallel with Gaza Strip and Jerusalem in side boarders (J1), an office program was developed using the same techniques by using the same database for the HHD.
---> Harmonized Data - The SPSS package is used to clean and harmonize the datasets. - The harmonization process starts with a cleaning process for all raw data files received from the Statistical Agency. - All cleaned data files are then merged to produce one data file on the individual level containing all variables subject to harmonization. - A country-specific program is generated for each dataset to generate/ compute/ recode/ rename/ format/ label harmonized variables. - A post-harmonization cleaning process is then conducted on the data. - Harmonized data is saved on the household as well as the individual level, in SPSS and then converted to STATA, to be disseminated.
The survey sample consists of about 32,160 households of which 25,179 households completed the interview; whereas 16,355 households from the West Bank and 8,824 households in Gaza Strip. Weights were modified to account for non-response rate. The response rate in the West Bank reached 79.8% while in the Gaza Strip it reached 90.5%.
---> Sampling Errors Data of this survey may be affected by sampling errors due to use of a sample and not a complete enumeration. Therefore, certain differences can be expected in comparison with the real values obtained through censuses. Variances were calculated for the most important indicators: the variance table is attached with the final report. There is no problem in disseminating results at national or governorate level for the West Bank and Gaza Strip.
---> Non-Sampling Errors Non-statistical errors are probable in all stages of the project, during data collection or processing. This is referred to as non-response errors, response errors, interviewing errors, and data entry errors. To avoid errors and reduce their effects, great efforts were made to train the fieldworkers intensively. They were trained on how to carry out the interview, what to discuss and what to avoid, carrying out a pilot survey, as well as practical and theoretical training during the training course. Also data entry staff were trained on the data entry program that was examined before starting the data entry process. To stay in contact with progress of fieldwork activities and to limit obstacles, there was continuous contact with the fieldwork team through regular visits to the field and regular meetings with them during the different field visits. Problems faced by fieldworkers were discussed to clarify any issues. Non-sampling errors can occur at the various stages of survey implementation whether in data collection or in data processing. They are generally difficult to be evaluated statistically.
They cover a wide range of errors, including errors resulting from non-response, sampling frame coverage, coding and classification, data processing, and survey response (both respondent and interviewer-related). The use of effective training and supervision and the careful design of questions have direct bearing on limiting the magnitude of non-sampling errors, and hence enhancing the quality of the resulting data. The implementation of the survey encountered non-response where the case ( household was not present at home ) during the fieldwork visit and the case ( housing unit is vacant) become the high percentage of the non response cases. The total non-response rate reached 16.7% which is very low once compared to the

Context
The dataset tabulates the New Palestine population over the last 20 plus years. It lists the population for each year, along with the year on year change in population, as well as the change in percentage terms for each year. The dataset can be utilized to understand the population change of New Palestine across the last two decades. For example, using this dataset, we can identify if the population is declining or increasing. If there is a change, when the population peaked, or if it is still growing and has not reached its peak. We can also compare the trend with the overall trend of United States population over the same period of time.
Key observations
In 2023, the population of New Palestine was 3,541, a 8.52% increase year-by-year from 2022. Previously, in 2022, New Palestine population was 3,263, an increase of 12.71% compared to a population of 2,895 in 2021. Over the last 20 plus years, between 2000 and 2023, population of New Palestine increased by 2,327. In this period, the peak population was 3,541 in the year 2023. The numbers suggest that the population has not reached its peak yet and is showing a trend of further growth. Source: U.S. Census Bureau Population Estimates Program (PEP).
