Doctors Without Borders (MSF) says that nearly half of those who died since October 7, 2023, in a mortality survey conducted among MSF staff and their families in Gaza were children: “Compared to pre-7 October 2023 Ministry of Health mortality rate estimates, the mortality rate among surveyed MSF staff and their families during the war was five times higher. For children under five, mortality increased tenfold. For babies less than one month, the mortality rate was six times higher. The survey, run by MSF’s epidemiological arm, Epicentre, covered 2,523 people (MSF colleagues and their family members) over the period between October 2023 and March 2025. The survey results showed that of the people who were alive on 7 October 2023, more than 2% of them had died since that date; 7% had been injured. Furthermore, three-quarters of the deaths were due to war injuries, the vast majority of those from blasts. 48% of the people who died from blast injuries among our colleagues’ households were children; 40 per cent were under 10 years old.”
