The Israeli attack on Gaza, launched in response to her attack Palestinian Organization of Hamas Fighters In communities in southern Israel, it has claimed life to tens of thousands of Palestinians and has leveled large parts of the pocket.
Reuters gathered all the evidence of deaths and destruction during the Gaza war, with much of these data derived from reports made public by the United Nations Humanitarian Coordination Office (Ocha), while large steps are being taken to end.
Tens of thousands of dead Palestinians
Since October 7, 2023, more than 67,000 Palestinians have been killed in Gaza, with almost one -third of the dead being under 18, according to data from Gaza Health Authorities.
The Ministry of Health in Gaza does not distinguish between civilians and fighters in his report. Israel has already stated that at least 20,000 of the dead were fighters.
Israel argues that its attack aims at Hamas and that it is trying to avoid civilians, but that the organization is hiding among the citizens, a claim that Hamas refuses.
United Nations Research Committee announced last month that it came to the conclusion that Israel has committed genocide in Gaza – excluding examples related to, inter alia, to the extent of deaths, to support its findings. Israel described the exhibition as “scandalous” and “false”.
Israeli losses
At least 1,665 Israeli and foreign nationals were killed as a result of the war from October 7, 2023 to September 29, 2025, according to official Israeli information. Of these, 1,200 were killed in the October 7th attack.
The Israeli army states that 466 of his soldiers were killed in a battle, and 2,951 others have been injured since he began his land operation in Gaza on October 27, 2023.
Hamas kidnapped 251 people and transported them to Gaza as hostages after the October 7th attack. Israel says that 48 hostages remain in Gaza, of which 20 are considered to be still alive.
Based on the plan discussed by the two sides for the cessation of the war, the rest of the hostages will be surrendered to an exchange with Palestinian prisoners held in Israel.
Skull
About 193,000 buildings in Gaza have been destroyed or damaged, according to the latest data from the July of the United Nations satellite center.
About 213 hospitals and 1,029 schools have been a target, according to the same source. Only 14 of the 36 Gaza hospitals continue to be partially functional, according to the World Health Organization, and those in southern Gaza are overcrowded.
The UN High Commissioner for Human Rights has expressed serious concern about the level of disaster in the city of Gaza, the main urban center of the enclave, and has stated that any intentional effort to relocate population will equate ethnic cleansing.
The caravans of refugees
Only about the 18% of Gaza Strip It is not currently subject to displacement orders or is not within militarized zones, according to the United Nations. Many Palestinians have been displaced many times.
Since Israel expanded its military campaign in the city of Gaza in mid -August, swearing to eliminate Hamas fighters, the United Nations has recorded over 417,000 displacements of people from the north to the southern part of the pocket.
Israel has invited residents to the city of Gaza to move to the south. But conditions in southern Gaza are difficult, with families crowded with improvised scenes and services that have reached their limits, struggling to manage new arrivals, according to relief organizations.
The famine
The integrated framework for food security (IPC) stated in August that famine is ongoing in the city of Gaza and is likely to spread. Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu rejected this report as a “shameless lie”. According to the IPC, 514,000 people- almost a quarter of the Palestinians in Gaza- is facing famine.
At least 177 people – including 36 children – have died of famine and malnutrition since confirming famine conditions in sections of Gaza, according to the Gaza Ministry of Health.
Over 60% of pregnant and young mothers suffer from malnutrition, according to the United Nations Fund for the population.
The humanitarian crisis
On May 21, Israel has been excluded 11 weeks to entry supplies to Gaza. Humanitarian organizations have said that the help that comes in Gaza is too small to meet the needs.
Many humanitarian organizations say they continue to face restrictions as well as obstacles to the logistics, including the closure of the Zikim passage between Gaza and Israel on September 12 and the Allenby crossing point between the West Bank and the Jordanian Israeli Occupation.
Israel says there is no quantitative restriction on food aid that enters Gaza and accuses Hamas of stealing help, accusations that the Palestinian organization refuses.
About 73% of trucks that carry food aid to Gaza in September have stopped hungry civilians or by force armed gangs, according to Ocha.
Since May 27, at least 2,340 people have been killed while looking for food or other supplies to Gaza – half of them near militaryized distribution points and the rest along the routes of relief motorcycles, according to Ocha data until September 29th.
The Gaza Humanitarian Foundation (GHF), which began distributing food at the end of May from a small number of distribution centers, has denied that the incidents occur near its own points. It operates outside the United Nations and is supported by Israel. He has stated that by September 29, he had distributed more than 175 million meals.
