We say only what pleases God. To God belongs what He gives and to God belongs what He takes, and to Him we shall return. My cousin, Osama Yousef Al-Zahar, has been martyred. His wife, Umm Yousef. His daughter, Raghad Osama Al-Zahar. His son, Yousef Osama Al-Zahar. His daughter, Samira Osama Al-Zahar. His daughter, Ritaj Osama Al-Zahar. My aunt, Hajja Umm Muhammad Al-Zahar. My cousin's wife, Umm Yousef Al-Zahar. We ask God to accept him among the martyrs and the righteous, and we do not presume to judge God's will.

To God we belong and to Him we shall return. The loss is immense. We do not presume to judge anyone before God; we consider them martyrs in God's eyes. O God, we do not ask You to avert Your decree, but we ask for Your mercy upon us. May God have mercy on them, forgive them, and grant them spacious gardens in Paradise. Our loved ones have departed, leaving behind homes in mourning. Our martyrs, our dear ones, the martyrs of the Al-Zahar family: my beloved grandmother Samira, my dear uncle Muhammad's wife Amal, my kind uncle Osama, his dear wife Alaa, and their children Raghad, Youssef, Ritaj, and Samira (a baby just a few months old). God is sufficient for us, and He is the best disposer of affairs. To the eternal gardens of Paradise; you have gone before us, and we will follow.

إنا لله و إنا إليه راجعون المصاب جلل ولا نزكي على الله أحد نحتسبهم شهداء عند الله اللهم إنا لا نسألك رد القضاء و لكن نسألك اللطف فينا يا الله الله يرحمهم و يغفر لهم و يسكنهم فسيح جناته رحلوا الأحبة و تركوا خلفهم الديار باكية شهدائنا أحبابنا الغاليين على قلوبنا شهداء آل الزهار ستي الحبيبة سميرة و زوجة خالي محمد الغالية أمل و خالي الحنون أسامة و زوجته الغالية ألاء و أبنائه رغد و يوسف و ريتاج و سميرة ( طفلة بعمر الأشهر ) حسبنا الله و نعم الوكيل ألى جنان الخلد أنتم السابقون و نحن اللاحقون

In the name of God, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful. {And do not think that those who were killed in the cause of God are dead. Rather, they are alive with their Lord, receiving provision.} We offer our condolences to you and to ourselves on the martyrdom of our cousin, Alaa Mansour Abdul Aziz Al-Nawajha (Um Yusuf), her husband, her children, and several members of her husband's family (our relatives, the Al-Zahar family). We ask God Almighty to grant them the highest Paradise with the prophets and the righteous. We ask God to strengthen your hearts and inspire you with patience and solace. To God we belong, and to Him we shall return. May God reward us and you greatly.

بسم الله الرحمن الرحيم {وَلَا تَحْسَبَنَّ الَّذِينَ قُتِلُوا فِي سَبِيلِ اللَّهِ أَمْوَاتًا بَلْ أَحْيَاءٌ عِنْدَ رَبِّهِمْ يُرْزَقُونَ} نعزيكم ونعزي أنفسنا باستشهاد ابنة العم/ آلاء منصور عبد العزيز النواجحة (أم يوسف) وزوجها وأبناءها وعدد من عائلة زوجها (أنسبائنا عائلة الزهار) أسأل المولى عز وجل أن يسكنهم الفردوس الأعلى من الجنة مع الأنبياء والصديقين .. أسأل الله أن يثبت قلوبكم ويلهمكم الصبر والسلوان.. انا لله وانا اليه راجعون وأعظم الله أجرنا وأجركم.

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 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 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.
