Fifteen members of the al-Zatmeh and Ghoneim families, including 11 children and two women, were killed in an alleged Israeli airstrike on the al-Zatmeh family home to the West of Rafah on October 22nd 2023. The house was situated next to Zaid mosque, between Badr and Al-Brahma camp. Initial reports by @ShehabAgency claimed “a large number of injuries,” though did not specify the number of injured victims. According to Alaa Abu Anas, “there [were] body parts and missing persons being identified” following the airstrike. Several sources claimed the explosion type to be originating from an Israeli aircraft.

From the al-Zatmeh family, 35-year-old Imad Faraj al-Zatmeh and his wife 34-year-old Islam Nayef al-Zatmeh were killed, along with their children 10-year-old Hala Imad al-Zatmeh, 13-year-old Muhammad Imad al-Zatmeh, 2-year-old Ahmed Imad al-Zatmeh, and 11-year-old Ibrahim Imad al-Zatmeh. Imad’s sister, 28-year-old Hanan Faraj al-Zatmeh was also killed, along with her husband 32-year-old Ahmed Essam Salah and their children 9-year-old Essam Ahmed Salah, 3-year-old Retal Ahmed Salah, less than a year old Abdul Rahman Ahmed Salah and 2-year-old Nada Ahmed Salah.

Images shared on social media showed the mother of Imad and Hanan Faraj al-Zatmeh, Ibtisam al-Zatmeh, crouched over the bodies of her children, covered in white shroud on the ground, after she had heard about the strike on her home while working at the Emirati maternity hospital.

In a Facebook post, Muhammad Abdel Aziz mourned his cousins, 12-year-old Raghad Farid Ghoneim, 8-year-old Layan Farid Ghoneim, and 5-year-old Karam Farid Ghoneim, reporting they were “killed in a bombing on a house next to them.” Images shared by a page for the Ghoneim family show the children smiling while posing for photos.

Where sources identified the belligerent, all sources attributed the strikes to Israeli forces.

All of the names have been reconciled with published Palestinian Ministry of Health lists with thanks to journalist Alexandre Horn from CheckNews for identifying relevant sources, and Data Tech for Palestine for centralising the datasets.

The Shireen Observatory is a purely voluntary effort by journalists who were colleagues of the martyred journalist Shireen Abu Akleh, with the aim of completing the work for which she gave her life in documenting and exposing the crimes of the Israeli occupation against the Palestinian people, and conveying the facts about what is happening in Palestine to the world, and to convey the message of Palestinian journalists to the occupation that killing Shireen did not and will not stop the Palestinian voice or prevent it from reaching the world, and that Shireen’s name will remain alive in the hearts of Palestinians.

Latest data available is until July 31st, 2025 (see updates detailed below). There are 60,199 in this list of names of those known to have been killed in Gaza since October 7, 2023. Of these, 1,137 were senior ladies, 1,791 were senior men, 10,271 were women, 28,543 were men, 7,801 were girls and 10,656 were boys. Names list web viewer → Usage​ The dataset is available as a CSV and JSON array. For programmatic use cases, we recommend sequentially requesting segments of the list using the paged JSON option, but a full minified JSON list is also provided below. You can replace the v3 path in these links with v2 for our older format. For JSON we recommend v3 as it's a faster download. See versions. Paging​ Given the size of this list, request times for the full list may be long. You can fetch the list incrementally in pages of 100 JSON objects using the following format. Pages are numbered from 1 to 602, and the total number of pages will grow as the list grows in size. Please keep in mind that these pages will not have consistent ordering over time. You can dynamically fetch the current page size and number of pages using our Summary JSON. We recommend fetching this resource before & after a sequential fetch to confirm that the page count was stable (makes sure the list wasn't updated while you were requesting all the pages). https://data.techforpalestine.org/api/v2/killed-in-gaza/page-1.json Fields​ Each record will have the following fields: KeyValueVersionnameoriginal arabic name from the source listv2,v3en_nameenglish name translationv2,v3idunique string (do not depend on format, it may change), and it may not be providedv2,v3dobdate of birth: string in YYYY-MM-DD format, or empty string if not availablev2,v3sexstring of one of m for male or f for femalev2,v3ageage as a numberv2,v3sourcestring indicating the source of the record (either h for "Ministry of Health", c for "Public Submission", j for "judicial or house committee", u for "unknown")v2updatenumber corresponding to the list update noted below under sourcesv3 Versions​ We maintain two formats of this dataset: a v2 and v3 version. Both receive updates as we receive list updates from the ministry. These versions represent data format changes and not unique list updates. For unique list update numbering refer to the update field noted above (only available for the v3 format). v2 has the paged format noted above alongside CSV and JSON. v3 provides CSV & JSON in a condensed format. The v3 format does not include the "source" field that's in v2. We removed the source field after the ministry stopped using it in the sixth list update. To keep the v3 JSON format small, we've switched the format from an array of JSON objects to an array of arrays, similar to a CSV. The first array specifies the fields and their order for the rest of the records in the main array. Source​ The dataset is updated when a new list is released by Gaza's Ministry of Health. Typically, this has been done in PDF format via their Telegram channel. Refer to the list of updates below for an idea of frequency. In their initial January 2024 update, the Ministry indicated the following about the list: The missing persons and the bodies of those trapped under the rubble were not counted. The unidentified people who arrived at hospitals were not counted. The unidentified persons whose bodies were handed over by the occupation were not counted. Those who were buried by their families without passing through hospitals were not counted. The victims in Gaza and North Gaza were not counted after the date of stopping the information system in November. Where the ministry's format has changed since the first update, we've tried to document this in our update posts linked below. The above bullets are presented to give you insight into their initial methodology and constraints, which have mostly held true (with the exception of #5 as the list was updated over time). The above caveats should make it clear that this list will be an undercount. You can read more about other factors you should consider. The aggregate numbers in the Daily Casualties - Gaza dataset will necessarily diverge from this list due to the number of unidentified people. Updates​ This list incorporates the following releases from the Ministry of Health: The first was as of January 5th, 2024 for hospitals reporting in the South and November 2nd 2023 for the North. Additionally, 21 records were included from an earlier release as noted in our Feburary update. (CSV / JSON) The second was as of March 29th, 2024 and it included submissions from the public to the Ministry (ie: families of those killed). We detailed the changes in our April 29th update. (CSV / JSON) The third was as of April 30th, 2024 and released on May 5th from the Ministry. We detailed the changes in our June 26th update. (CSV / JSON) The fourth was as of June 30th, 2024 and released on July 24th from the Ministry. We detailed the changes in our September 7th update. (CSV / JSON) The fifth was as of August 31st, 2024 and released around September 15th by the Ministry. We detailed the changes in our September 21st update. (CSV / JSON) The sixth was as of March 23rd, 2025, and released on the same day by the Ministry via Iraq Body Count. We detailed the changes in our May 11th update. (CSV / JSON) The seventh was as of June 15th, 2025, and released on June 23rd from the Ministry via Iraq Body Count. We detailed the changes in our July 6th update. (CSV / JSON) The eighth was as of July 15th, 2025, and released on July 16th from the Ministry via Iraq Body Count. We detailed the changes in our July 20th update. (CSV / JSON) The ninth was as of July 31st, 2025, and released on August 4th from the Ministry via Iraq Body Count. We detailed the changes in our August 17th update. (CSV / JSON) Child Name Counts​ For counts of the top 10 translated first names by age group (man, woman, boy, and girl), you can reference this JSON API: https://data.techforpalestine.org/api/v2/killed-in-gaza/name-freq-en.json This dataset is used to derive estimates of children killed for our home page name cards as documented on our Summary dataset page.
