Death in Gaza: 30 days, 10,000 killed

It took 30 days, from the start of the Israel-Palestine war on 7 October, for the number of Palestinians killed in Gaza to pass 10,000.

The graph below illustrates the daily tally of fatalities up to and including 5 November, as well as the cumulative number.

The average number of people killed each day during that 30-day period was 336 - or one person every four-and-a-half minutes.

The worst day for fatalities was 24 October, when 756 Palestinians were killed amid heavy Israeli bombardments. This figure included at least 30 people in Khan Younis, killed when their four-storey apartment building was levelled.

The death toll across Gaza has since risen to 11,078 Palestinians killed as of 12 November.

That figure includes the deaths of 4,506 children, defined as under 18, and 3,027 women. These two groups account for 68 percent of the total number of Palestinians killed in Gaza since 7 October.
