A research team from the Max Planck Institute for Demographic Research (MPIDR) and the Center for Demographic Studies (CED) investigated the impact of the conflict in Gaza on mortality. They estimate that 78,318 people were killed in Gaza between October 7, 2023, and December 31, 2024. As a result, life expectancy in Gaza in 2024 fell to nearly half the level expected without the war. An update of their analysis, produced after the publication of the study, revealed that the current violent death toll likely exceeds 100,000.
