West Bank and Gaza's death rate stood at 7.2 in 2025, a decline of +0.0 from 2023. Based on recent trends, this figure is projected to reach 7.2 by 2025. West Bank and Gaza ranked 116th globally.
West Bank and Gaza’s death rate has risen steadily over the 35‑year series, moving from 6.72 in 1990 to a peak of 7.20 in 2023 before a brief dip to 2.99 in 2022, and reaching 7.19 in 2025, which places the territory at rank 116 globally. The post‑2022 surge brings the figure in line with regional peers such as Kenya (7.20) and Eswatini (7.15), suggesting that health outcomes are converging with those of other lower‑income economies rather than improving relative to the global average. The sharp trough in 2022 appears anomalous, likely reflecting temporary factors such as reduced conflict‑related mortality or data reporting gaps, while the subsequent rebound aligns with broader trends of rising non‑communicable disease burdens and limited health system capacity. Continued investment in primary care, conflict mitigation, and data quality will be crucial to reverse the upward trajectory and bring the death rate below the current high‑mid‑single‑digit level.
