Life expectancy at birth in the Gaza Strip reflects the complex humanitarian and public health conditions that have shaped the territory over decades. Prior to the significant escalation of conflict beginning in late 2023, overall life expectancy in Gaza stood at approximately 74 to 75 years, with women living slightly longer than men — around 76 to 77 years for females compared to roughly 72 to 73 years for males.
