Between October 7 and 22, 2023, the Israel-Palestine conflict resulted in approximately 6,100 deaths and 20,900 injuries on both sides.

This data was compiled by the United Nations Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs (OCHA) from the Gaza Ministry of Health and official statements from the Israeli government.

Up to the 16th day of the war, Sunday, October 22, 2023, the highest number of casualties came from the Palestinian side, as shown in the graph.

Specifically, the majority of Palestinian casualties were in the Gaza Strip, with approximately 4,651 deaths and 14,245 injuries. In the West Bank, there were 91 deaths and 1,734 injuries.

Meanwhile, Israeli casualties numbered approximately 1,401 deaths and 4,941 injuries.

OCHA also reported that the number of Palestinians displaced by the war continues to increase, exceeding the capacity of existing shelters.

"An estimated 1.4 million internally displaced persons are in Gaza, with nearly 580,000 sheltering in 150 emergency shelters designated by UNRWA," OCHA stated in its report on Sunday, October 22, 2023.

"The overcrowding in shelters is increasingly worrying, as the average number of displaced persons per shelter is more than 2.5 times the designated capacity," it continued.

According to OCHA, UNRWA-managed shelters are designed to accommodate between 1,500 and 2,000 people. However, many shelters currently house around 4,400 people.

OCHA also reported that Israel opened the Rafah crossing (the border between Gaza and Egypt) on Saturday, October 21, 2023. However, the amount of aid allowed through this crossing is severely restricted.

"On Sunday, October 22, 2023, the Rafah crossing was opened for a second time, allowing the entry of 14 trucks carrying food, water, and medical supplies. This is equivalent to approximately 3% of the average daily volume of commodities entering Gaza before the war," said OCHA.

"Overcrowding (in shelters) and shortages of essential supplies have triggered tensions among the displaced, as well as reports of gender-based violence," it added.
