As Gaza's Health Ministry announces over 40,000 dead, this project tells the stories of Palestinians killed in Gaza since Hamas launched its October 7 attack on Israel, a snapshot of 40 lives lost due to Israeli airstrikes, lack of medical care or malnutrition.
The information presented was gathered from various sources, including interviews with friends and family members of the deceased, publicly shared tributes and accounts and news reports.
Hamas-run Health Ministry death toll figures do not distinguish between civilians and combatants, but there is a broad consensus among international organizations, governments and media outlets backing the credibility of its data.
