"The Gaza Mortality Survey (GMS), a population-representative household study published in The Lancet Global Health, estimated 75,200 violent deaths between October 7, 2023 and January 5, 2025. This figure represents approximately 3.4 percent of Gaza's pre-conflict 2.2 million population and sits 34.7 percent higher than the 49,090 violent deaths reported by the MoH for the same period. The Gaza Health Ministry estimates that as of January 27 this year, at least 71,662 people have been killed since the start of the war."
"Israel has consistently questioned the ministry's figures, but an Israeli army official told journalists in the country in January that the army accepted that about 70,000 people had been killed in Gaza during the war. Despite the higher figure, researchers noted that the demographic composition of casualties where women, children, and the elderly comprise 56.2 percent of those killed remains remarkably consistent with official Palestinian reporting."
Independent peer-reviewed studies estimate more than 75,000 violent deaths in Gaza between October 7, 2023 and January 5, 2025. The Gaza Mortality Survey (GMS), a population-representative household study of 2,000 households covering 9,729 individuals, estimated 75,200 violent deaths, about 3.4 percent of Gaza's pre-conflict 2.2 million population. That estimate is 34.7 percent higher than the Gaza Ministry of Health's count of 49,090 for the same period. The Gaza Health Ministry estimated at least 71,662 fatalities as of January 27. Women, children, and the elderly comprise 56.2 percent of those killed. An Israeli army official acknowledged roughly 70,000 deaths. The scale implies a massive humanitarian and reconstructive crisis.
