Verifiable by Default
Every figure on this site traces back to an open dataset you can query yourself. We publish nothing you cannot independently verify at the source.
Open data. Typically updated daily.
The human toll of the war in Gaza, in numbers.
Gaza by the Numbers is a free, independent dashboard presenting reported casualty and humanitarian data for Gaza and the West Bank, drawn from the Tech for Palestine open-data project. Every figure names its source, and every limitation is stated plainly.

Mission & Principles
Transparent sourcing, verifiable figures, and independence from every interested party.
Context Without Commentary
Numbers are presented with their provenance, their definitions, and their limitations — not with talking points. Where a figure is contested or incomplete, we say so on the page where it appears.
Independent by Design
Gaza by the Numbers accepts no funding and takes no editorial direction from any government, NGO, or political organization. Spotted an error? Email [email protected] and we will correct the page.
The Data Behind the Site
Every figure on this page comes from one of these open datasets, published by Tech for Palestine and released into the public domain. Averages marked “computed” are derived from these reported totals.
Summary indicators — in use
Cumulative casualty and humanitarian indicators for Gaza and the West Bank. This is the dataset this site reads directly; it powers every statistic on this page, with no adjustments of our own.
Daily casualties — upstream source
Day-by-day reported killed and injured since October 7, 2023. Gaza figures come from the Ministry of Health’s Telegram channel, with the Government Media Office as fallback; West Bank figures come from UN OCHA. The summary indicators above are cumulative values from this series.
Killed in Gaza — named victims
A registry of victims identified by name, built from official name lists released by Gaza’s Ministry of Health. The ministry states the list excludes the missing, the unidentified, and those buried without reaching hospitals — an undercount by construction. Releases are irregular; the current list covers deaths through July 31, 2025.
On the roadmap — planned
A view of journalists identified by name, West Bank detail, and CSV export of the figures shown here. Roadmap items are aspirational and labeled as such until they ship.
Sources & Methodology
How to read the numbers on this page.
Where the numbers come from
Gaza figures originate with the Gaza Ministry of Health, supplemented by the Government Media Office, both publishing via official Telegram channels. West Bank figures are compiled by the UN Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs (OCHA). Tech for Palestine aggregates these sources into the open datasets this site reads; we apply no adjustments of our own. See the daily casualties and summary documentation.
What “(reported)” means
Every figure marked “(reported)” is a count published by the originating source, not an independently verified total. The Gaza Ministry of Health’s figures are widely cited by UN agencies and disputed by the Israeli government; a peer-reviewed capture–recapture study in The Lancet argued the traumatic-injury toll was understated by about 41%, while a statistical response published on SSRN disputed that analysis and others have argued aspects of the figures are overstated. We display the source dataset’s “massacres” field as “mass-casualty incidents (reported)”; that tally comes from official Gaza reports. We present figures as reported, name the source, and link the methodology so you can evaluate them yourself.
Known limitations
Totals are cumulative and revised over time; demographic breakdowns are released less often than headline totals (roughly monthly since January 2025). The named-victims registry is updated irregularly — the current release covers deaths through July 31, 2025 — and excludes the missing, the unidentified, and those buried without reaching hospitals, so it understates the total. Deaths from hunger and lack of medical care are tracked separately from direct war casualties. Full details: named-victims methodology. All Tech for Palestine datasets are released into the public domain.
