Report prepared by the Health Information Centre | Palestinian Ministry of Health (MOH) – Gaza 

The Palestinian Ministry of Health in Gaza published its detailed report on the victims of Israel's aggression against the Gaza Strip for the period between 7 to 26 October. The report, prepared by the Health Information Centre, includes the number of martyrs classified into males, females, adults and children, as well as a diagram monitoring the death toll at a daily basis. 

The report contains a full record of martyrs, including the name, identity number, age and sex (up to page 150), and a special record of the names of children who died as a result of the Israeli shelling during the period of aggression referred to (pages following page 150). The latter is only available in Arabic. 

During the period documented in the report, there were 7,028 martyrs, of whom 2,913 were children and 4,115 were adults. The total number of martyrs, according to gender, was 3,129 females and 3,899 males, and 281 of the martyrs referred to in the report were unidentified.  

The Palestinian Ministry of Health indicated in its report that the actual number of martyrs is significantly higher than the number observed in the present report, since the report does not include those who are still missing under the rubble, and those who were directly buried without showing to hospitals, or those who couldn’t be registered by the hospitals.  

The English version can be found here, obtained via MOH.
