On June 23rd, Gaza officials released a new list of those killed in Gaza up to June 15th, 2025.
The list format was very similar to recent updates we received. You can download an Excel file provided by Iraq Body Count here that was used as the source for this update. This sheet was sourced by IBC from the Gaza Ministry of Health and formatted to include english names. IBC also changed the age terminologies as mentioned in their tweet You can view the updated dataset on our Killed in Gaza page. To keep it consistent with our current age values (i.e. integers starting from 0, 1, 2 and onwards), the original CSV from MOH was used and joined with the IBC excel sheet on the id column. Data consistency was checked using this script before publishing.
Methodology
Instead of using our own arabic-to-english name mapping we used the translations provided by Iraq Body Count in their excel list in order to expedite the process. We continued the following adjustments to the source report:
- renaming header to comply with our previous naming
- adding source
u(unknown) since no origin source was provided by the Ministry of Health (in earlier releases they indicated which records were sourced by officials vs. from the public)
