2,104 Palestinians, 72 Israelis

The fighting ended with an Egyptian-brokered cease-fire on Aug. 26.

The U.N. Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs reports that 2,104 Palestinians were killed in Gaza, including 1,462 civilians, among them 495 children and 253 women. Those U.N. numbers would mean that 69 percent of the total killed were civilians.

The Israeli death toll is at 72 (66 Israeli soldiers and 6 civilians), according to the BBC.
