Here are the latest casualty figures from the Palestinian Ministry of Health in Gaza, tracking the casualties from October 7, 2023 through October 21, 2025:
- Confirmed killed: at least 68,229 people, including at least 20,179 children
- Injured: at least 170,369 people
The number of those killed includes:
- 463 killed due to starvation, including 157 children
A famine is occurring in Gaza, according to the international system for monitoring world hunger and food security.
The United Nations-backed scale, known as the Integrated Food Security Phase Classification (IPC), has now categorised the Gaza governorate as being in Phase 5 – the highest level of food insecurity, characterised by starvation, destitution and death.
The same classification is projected to be extended to Deir el-Balah in central Gaza and Khan Younis in the south.
At this point, more than 640,000 people throughout Gaza are living under Phase 5 conditions, according to an October 7 report from the United Nations Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs (OCHA).
According to the International Rescue Committee, one in every three young children has been living without food for at least 24 hours. In most families with children aged under five, nearly three-quarters of those surveyed reported visible signs of malnutrition.
According to OCHA, 90 percent of children under the age of two consume fewer than two food groups per day.
There is a trickle of aid trucks entering Gaza, despite the 600-truck-per-day target set forth in the ceasefire agreement. According to Al Jazeera correspondent Tareq Abu Azzoum, only 12 World Food Programme aid trucks have entered since the early morning hours.
