Gaza Death Toll From Israeli Genocide “Likely Exceeds” 100K, Study Finds
Researchers estimate Gaza’s death toll from the Israeli assault exceeds 100,000, with life expectancy dropping nearly 50% and severe economic collapse reported by UN agencies.
- On Tuesday, researchers at the Max Planck Institute for Demographic Research and the Center for Demographic Studies found Gaza's violent death toll likely exceeds 100,000, with a median over 112,000 and a range of 99,997–125,915.
- Researchers say the two-year Israeli military assault and blockade on Gaza since October 2023 contribute to the high death toll, while distorted and incomplete conflict-zone data widen estimate ranges.
- The study documents a precipitous plunge in life expectancy and reports Gaza’s life expectancy fell by 44% in 2023 and 47% in 2024, with losses of 34.4 and 36.4 years, respectively, while Irena Chen said, `we will never know the exact number of dead`.
- CAIR called for accountability, saying the study is `further evidence of genocide` and urged stopping U.S. funding for Israel, holding Netanyahu and others accountable.
- A UNCTAD report earlier this week found Gaza's entire population lives below the poverty line with per-capita GDP at $161, unemployment at 80%, and inflation nearly 240%, caused by the blockade and famine.
