A searchable list of all named victims in Gaza since October 2023, as published by the Palestinian Ministry of Health (MoH) in Gaza
Since the war between Israel and Hamas and other militant groups in Gaza began in October 2023, the Palestinian Ministry of Health (MoH) in Gaza has been publicly releasing, in Arabic, the names of those it says have been killed by Israeli actions, along with their ID numbers, ages, sex, and, more recently, information about how the death was recorded.
The release of this information is unprecedented in modern conflict, with no such official individualised record of harm in Ukraine, Iraq, or Syria publicly available.
Israeli officials have repeatedly disputed the MoH figures but most analyses, including by Airwars, have found the MoH lists to be broadly reliable. Some have pointed out inaccuracies, including highlighting samples where sex may have been misrecorded. However, large scale analysis found that such instances likely resulted from error rather than intentional manipulation.
The MoH has stated that it records all individuals who die at hospitals in the Gaza Strip or whose bodies arrive there, though the exact methodologies have changed somewhat over time as hospitals lost capacity and went offline. The MoH has stated that they do not distinguish between civilians and militants.
As of April 2025, when Israel and Hamas announced a six-week ceasefire, the MoH had publicly released eight lists, publishing the names of more than 50,000 individuals reportedly killed.
These lists are available in their original format alongside digitally archived copies, here:
Airwars is compiling, transliterating, and releasing the names in a single, searchable dataset to aid individuals, researchers, journalists, academics and others seeking to understand the scale of harm, interrogate the official death toll, or see if the names of a relative or friend have appeared on any lists. Airwars has not sought to mediate the lists or looked to correct potential errors.
The MoH has specified that the lists are not comprehensive, as they only include entries for those whose identities they were able to verify. As such, the number of individuals included on the lists is lower than the total number of victims identified by the MoH, which as of April 2025 was more than 50,000.
This page is an aggregation of individuals’ IDs and matched demographic information from the eight published MoH lists. As Airwars has not sought to mediate the lists, this page includes entries whose IDs were missing in earlier lists or not included in later lists. As such, the total number of entries on this page exceeds those published by the MoH on any single list.
As part of a longer term project, Airwars is also independently documenting the deaths of civilians killed in Gaza through an incident based methodology. As part of this process, Airwars researchers also record the names of individuals killed, and where possible, check those names against MoH lists. When an individual has been found by Airwars’ researchers and has been listed in an MoH list, a link to the Airwars assessment is included in the ‘incident’ column.
As Airwars publishes new incidents with new names, the link to the relevant Airwars assessment will automatically appear in this tool. To date, Airwars has published only 1,000 of an estimated 9,000 civilian harm allegations under review, and non-appearance should not be taken as an indication that Airwars is disputing the death of the individual.
Where names of victims have appeared in multiple MoH lists, it is noted in the lists column. Those analysing the lists have noted that the MoH has sought to correct and update demographic information over time. As such, if an individual appeared on lists four through eight, the demographic information visible on this page is that which was published on list eight. Click on the links to the previous lists and search by ID to view previous entries.
This page is ordered by ID number, from high to low. Entries with missing or incomplete IDs are included at the bottom of the list. Users can search by the name of the victim in English or Arabic and ID number, and filter by sex, age, and list.
Published in Arabic, the names have been transliterated using Tech For Palestine’s database of Arabic to English names, published in September 2024. Missing entries were filled using MTG transliterations, with final transliterations reviewed and adjusted by Airwars. A record of these adjustments can be shared upon request.
The tool is optimised for desktop, rather than mobile, use. Visit the Search Tips tab for further guidance on how best to search the page.
