If you want the latest number of journalists killed in Gaza, consider using the killed.press value from the gaza section, above. This value is reported independently and while we aim to keep it in sync, the name list updates may lag the daily casualties counts.
Killed Children by Name Usage
This dataset, combined with the count of child names from our Killed in Gaza dataset, is used to derive an estimate of how many children with a particular name have been killed so far across Gaza and the West Bank. The logic for this calculation can be seen here in javascript on Github. It's available as a JSON API that updates as both this summary dataset and our Killed in Gaza names list receive updates:
