The war in the Gaza Strip has resulted in significant civilian mortality and infrastructure damage, creating a public health emergency. Israeli military operations have caused massive destruction, displaced nearly 2 million people, and severely disrupted essential services. This seminar examines mortality and famine in Gaza over the past year, addressing health information system challenges, mortality and famine projections analysis, and data collection during conflict. The seminar will present mortality estimates using capture-recapture analysis methods and discuss famine projections that assess food insecurity and malnutrition risks.
