As of 8 September 2024, over 42,000 people (40,972 Palestinian[1] and 1,478 Israeli[13]) have been reported as killed in the Israel–Hamas war, including 116 journalists according to the Committee to Protect Journalists (111 Palestinian, 2 Israeli and 3 Lebanese)[14], 134 journalists and media workers according to the International Federation of Journalists (127 Palestinian, 4 Israeli and 3 Lebanese)[15] and over 224 humanitarian aid workers, including 179 employees of UNRWA.[16]

The vast majority of casualties have been in the Gaza Strip where, according to a PCPSR report, over 60% of Gazans have lost family members since 7 October 2023.[17] The death tolls reported by the UNOCHA come from Gaza Health Ministry (GHM).[18] The casualty total includes all reported deaths, while the demographic breakdown uses only casualties with associated identities.[19] The GHM announced on 30 April 2024 that 24,686 casualties had been specifically identified through hospitals, family members, and media reports;[20] of these, 52% were women and minors, 43% were men over 18, and 5% were not identified by age or sex.[21] The GHM count does not include those who have died from "preventable disease, malnutrition and other consequences of the war".[22] An analysis by the Gaza Health Projections Working Group predicted thousands of excess deaths from disease and birth complications.[23]

The 7 October attacks on Israel killed 1,139 people, including 815 civilians.[24] A further 251 persons were taken hostage during the initial attack on Israel to the Gaza Strip.[2][25][26] A further 479 Palestinians, including 116 children, and 9 Israelis have been killed in the occupied West Bank (including East Jerusalem).[1] Casualties have also occurred in other parts of Israel, as well as in southern Lebanon,[27] Syria,[28] Yemen,[29] and Iran.[30]
