gaza-mortality - Gaza Conflict Tracker

This release is the first beta release of daily mortality tracking data from Palestine following Israel's assault against Gaza (2023-2024). Last updated 29 February 2024

Background

On 7 October 2023, the paramilitary wings of Hamas, Palestinian Islamic Jihad, PRC, PFLP, and DFLP launched a series of coordinated armed incursions into the Gaza envelope of the neighboring Israeli territory (see, Wikipedia) .

Israel retaliated with airstrikes in Gaza on 9 October 2023 and launched a ground invasion on 27 October 2023.

Data Source

The data in this repository are sourced from the Aljazeera live tracker. However, only the data captured by archive.org (the Wayback Machine) were used. Unlike the Alzajeera live tracker, the changes over time are tracked by archive.org and open to verification.

There are numerous days on which no updates were available. Nonetheless, in the raw data in the repository, the static data are repeated for every day for which no update is available but a snapshot of day's live tracker was recorded on the Wayback Machine.

Interpolated deaths and injuries could be estimated for non-reporting days.

Data Description

The data in the tracker include cumulative deaths and injuries since the start of the war. These data focus exclusively on casualties in Palestine due to their predominance and the predominantly civilian nature of those deaths.
