Gaza Health Ministry reports lower-than-expected excess deaths in 2025
Original: Gaza Health Ministry report shows excess 2025 deaths lower than experts expected
A new Gaza Health Ministry report indicates excess deaths in 2025 came in lower than experts had anticipated, according to Haaretz. The finding is notable given widespread projections of far higher mortality from the war, shortages of medical care and humanitarian conditions in the territory. The discrepancy is likely to fuel debate over casualty methodology, data reliability and the true human toll of the conflict.
Why now: The report challenges earlier expert projections about mortality in Gaza, prompting debate over war casualty figures.
