At least 64,756 Palestinians have been reported killed in the Gaza Strip since October 2023, according to the Gaza Health Ministry as of September 2025. Other sources corroborate figures above 60,000, with estimates including a significant proportion of civilians and children. Deaths have resulted directly from the ongoing conflict, including airstrikes, ground assaults, and blockades causing famine. The casualty reports note many more injured, and ongoing difficulties in recovery and verification of all fatalities remain.
