As of mid-2025, the estimated population of Palestinians living in the Gaza Strip is approximately 2.11 million. This number reflects a decline of about 10% from earlier projections for 2025 due to ongoing conflict and humanitarian challenges. Prior to the recent war, the population was estimated to be around 2.23 million in 2023. The population has been affected by significant casualties, displacement, and emigration, with over 57,000 Palestinians killed and around 100,000 having left Gaza since the start of the conflict in 2023.
In summary, roughly 2.1 million Palestinians currently reside in Gaza, with the population showing a downward trend largely due to the impact of war and displacement.
