Casualty Statistics
29 September 2000 - 8 December 2002

Palestinians: 1,926 deaths and 21,240 injuries in the West Bank and Gaza Strip. Subtotal since March 29, 2002 invasion (termed by Israel as "Operation Defensive Shield") is 669 deaths and 2,687 injuries. These figures are likely underestimates due to PRCS inability to access many areas and the many people who 'disappeared' during Israel's invasion of Jenin Refugee Camp.

Israelis: 691 deaths and 4,908 injuries. Death stats to 10 October, injury stats to 28 November 2002.
