<p>At least 100,000 <a href="https://www.middleeasteye.net/countries/palestine" target="_blank">Palestinians</a> were likely killed in <a href="https://www.middleeasteye.net/topics/israel-genocide-gaza" target="_blank">Israel’s war on Gaza</a>, according to a new study released by one of Germany's leading research institutes, the Max Planck Institute for Demographic Research (MPIDR) in Germany. </p>
<p>The MPIDR published a <a href="https://www.mpg.de/25778228/1125-defo-gaza-study-reveals-unprecedented-losses-of-life-and-life-expectancy-154642-x" target="_blank">report</a> on Tuesday, determining that the number of people killed in the Gaza Strip is substantially higher than the Palestinian health ministry’s own figures. </p>
<p>MPIDR is Europe's second-largest institution for demographic research and one of the largest worldwide.</p>
<p>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.</p>
