As of 4 October 2024, over 43,000 people (41,802 Palestinian[1] and 1,706 Israeli)[19] have been reported as killed in the Israel–Hamas war, including 128-139 journalists and media workers (123-129 Palestinian, 2-4 Israeli, 3-5 Lebanese and 1 Syrian) according to Committee to Protect Journalists and International Federation of Journalists.[20][21]120 academics[22] and over 224 humanitarian aid workers, including 179 employees of UNRWA.[23]

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.[24][25] The Gaza Health Ministry (GHM) total is of all recorded deaths directly due to the war, while the demographic breakdown is a subset of those who have been identified individually.[26][27] On 17 September 2024, the GHM published the names, gender and birth date of 34,344 individual Palestinians whose identities were confirmed. This reflects more than 80% of the casualties reported so far; of these, 60% were not men of fighting age.[26] The GHM count does not include those who have died from "preventable disease, malnutrition and other consequences of the war".[28] An analysis by the Gaza Health Projections Working Group predicted thousands of excess deaths from disease and birth complications.[29]

The 7 October attacks on Israel killed 1,195 people, including 815 civilians.[2] A further 251 persons were taken hostage during the initial attack on Israel to the Gaza Strip.[30][31][32] 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,[33] Syria,[34] Yemen,[35] and Iran.[36]
