According to the Palestinian Authority’s media office in Gaza, as of April 18, the conflict has resulted in over 51,000 deaths and at least 11,000 missing persons since October 7. Among the fatalities, more than 30,000 were women and children.

The Israeli military has reportedly dropped around 100,000 tons of bombs and artillery shells on Gaza, leading to the destruction of approximately 165,000 homes.

The humanitarian toll is staggering, with over 2 million people—equivalent to 90% of Gaza’s population—displaced, homeless, and enduring increasingly dire living conditions.

The Israeli government has not commented on the figures released by the Palestinian Authority. However, several regional and international sources consider the numbers credible, underscoring the scale of destruction in what has become one of the most devastating conflicts in the Middle East in recent decades.
