The population of Palestinians in the Gaza Strip decreased by 6 percent in 2024, resulting in a loss of nearly 160,000 Palestinians. The casualties of the Israeli war on Gaza included 17,581 children, 12,048 women, and 11,000 individuals believed to be dead under the rubble. Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas condemned the Israeli occupation's 'brutality and its bloody massacres against our people.' The total number of Palestinians reached 14.9 million in 2024, with 7.3 million living between the Jordan River and the Mediterranean Sea.
