This map displays the cities and camps in Gaza affected by Israeli airstrikes. The figures provided are conservative estimates, and only a selection of instances is shown, as the residence location of many victims are yet to be confirmed. Additionally, this map only includes fatalities that have been reported by credible media outlets and organisations like the United Nations Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs.
In addition to the deaths mentioned in the areas below, there were 40 confirmed deaths on October 13, as air strikes hit vehicles on Al-Rasheed and Salah al-Din roads leading to southern Gaza. These are the main routes used by at least 40,000 people to flee North Gaza.
