Following the 7 October 2023 war between Hamas and Israel, the Israeli Armed Forces launched strikes by land, sea and air against Gaza. As of 14 January 2025, this has resulted in more than 46,645 Palestinian deaths, and more than 110,012 people injured. In the West Bank, including East Jerusalem, this has been accompanied by an escalation of violence. UN Women has worked to analyze the differentiated impact on women, men, boys, and girls, to inform policies and programming.
