More than 100,000 Palestinians likely killed in Gaza, leading German institute says
At least 100,000 Palestinians were likely killed in Israel’s war on Gaza, according to a new study released by one of Germany's leading research institutes, the Max Planck Institute for Demographic Research (MPIDR) in Germany.
The MPIDR published a report on Tuesday, determining that the number of people killed in the Gaza Strip is substantially higher than the Palestinian health ministry’s own figures.
MPIDR is Europe's second-largest institution for demographic research and one of the largest worldwide.
The study estimated that 78,318 people were killed in Gaza between 7 October 2023 and the end of 2024 as a direct result of the war. In a subsequent analysis, the authors found that by 6 October 2025, the number of conflict-related deaths in Gaza had likely surpassed 100,000.
