Source: The Palestine Red Crescent Society, is our source for the Palestinian injuries. (Visit their statistics page, which was last updated on September 30, 2008.) Our source for the number of Israelis injured is , the Israel’s Foreign Ministry. (Visit their list, which goes through the end of 2007. Their statistics are probably somewhat inflated as it likely includes non-Israelis injured in the conflict as well as Israelis who were injured in other places or by people who are not Palestinian.)

The exact number of Palestinians injured during the current uprising is very difficult to ascertain. This is caused in part by the chaos that ensued following the re-invasion of the West Bank during March and April 2002 and also by the fact that many Palestinian injuries go unreported and untreated. It is believed that up to about 10,000 Palestinian children have been injured during this time period.
