Israel-Gaza war death toll: Live tracker
At least 51,305 people, including many children, have been killed in Israeli attacks on Gaza since October 2023.
Here are the latest casualty figures from the Palestinian Ministry of Health in Gaza as of April 20, 2025:
- Confirmed killed: at least 51,305 people, including at least 17,400 children
- Injured: at least 117,096 people
Since Israel broke the ceasefire on March 18:
- Confirmed killed: at least 1,928 people, including at least 500 children
- Injured: at least 4,683 people
Israel killed more than 170 during the ‘ceasefire’
On January 15, Israel and Hamas reached an agreement on a three-phase ceasefire deal to halt more than 460 days of the war that has devastated Gaza.
The deal, which took effect on January 19, included a ceasefire to halt the destruction inflicted on Gaza, the release of captives held in Gaza in exchange for thousands of Palestinian prisoners held by Israel, and the possibility for displaced Palestinians to return to their homes.
However, Israel violated the ceasefire numerous times from January 19 to March 17, killing at least 170 people in Gaza, averaging nearly three deaths a day.
During that time, some 2,000 bodies were either recovered or people died from their injuries.
Gaza authorities have documented more than 350 violations by Israel, including military incursions, gunfire, air raids, intensified surveillance and the obstruction of aid.
Humanitarian aid halted
The attacks came on top of a deepening humanitarian crisis in Gaza.
On March 2, Israel blocked all humanitarian aid into Gaza after the first phase of the ceasefire expired, cutting off food, medicine and fuel.
This raised global condemnation, with European nations warning the blockade could breach international humanitarian law. Humanitarian conditions worsened as aid trucks were stranded outside Gaza, resulting in a rising risk of hunger and malnutrition.
