Violent and non-violent death tolls for the Gaza conflict: new primary evidence from a population-representative field survey
This first independent population survey of mortality in the Gaza Strip shows that violent deaths have substantially exceeded official figures whereas the demographic composition of casualties aligns with MoH reporting. Non-violent excess deaths, although substantial, are lower than some projections have suggested. These findings show the feasibility of mortality surveillance in active conflict zones and provide crucial empirical foundations for assessing the true human cost of the conflict.
