EDIT: I VERIFIED DATA PER SOURCE. YOU CAN GOOGLE IT, TOO.

Here’s the most recent credible figure I can find for Palestinians killed in Gaza:

64,656 fatalities (and 163,503 injured) as of September 10, 2025, per the UN Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs (OCHA), citing Gaza’s Ministry of Health (MoH). OCHA notes this total includes 401 fatalities retroactively added on Sept 4 after their identification details were approved. OCHA OPT

And in daily news updates since then:

“More than 64,900” killed as of September 17, 2025, according to Associated Press, based on Gaza MoH reporting. (AP describes the toll as “nearing 65,000”.) AP News

What to quote: If you need an official, UN‑corroborated number, use 64,656 (as of Sept 10, 2025). If you want the very latest newsline language for today, use “about 65,000” (as of Sept 17, 2025), noting it’s from Gaza MoH and widely cited by major outlets.

Why numbers differ (and why UN uses MoH figures):

Gaza’s MoH shifted in Oct 2024 to counting only identified victims, after a period in which “unidentified” war dead were included; that change and ongoing disruptions mean the official toll likely undercounts the true total (thousands are believed still under rubble). Both UN agencies and the WHO have historically regarded MoH figures as credible for situational reporting. Reuters

OCHA also flags that public breakdowns it publishes are based on identified fatalities, and it labels any unverified inputs by source
