Gaza's health ministry has identified 34,344 Palestinians killed by Israeli attacks in the territory, publishing a list of names, ages, sexes and ID numbers that cover more than 80% of the Palestinians killed in the war so far.
The Guardian used this list to seek out the families of the oldest victim, a 101-year-old, and one of the very youngest, a newborn whose life lasted only two hours.
Here are their stories:
Ahmed al-Tahrawi
Tahrawi's first job was as a cook at a British army camp near his village, when his home was part of Mandatory Palestine and ruled from London.
He was born in 1922 in a place called al-Masmiya that today exists only as a handful of ruins and the name of an Israeli road junction, about half an hour's drive from Gaza's northern border.
Its residents fled in the Nakba, or catastrophe, of 1948, in which about 700,000 Palestinians were expelled from their homeland after the creation of Israel.
Tahrawi was 26 that year, a father to two young sons. The family left their old life behind on foot, carrying little more than the key to the village home they would never see again, his grandson Abd al-Rahman al-Tahrawi told the Guardian.
The boys didn't survive the flight into exile, and so in Bureij, a refugee camp in Gaza, Ahmed al-Tahrawi and his wife started again, rebuilding their family, their home and their lives from scratch.
The key always hung on their wall, wherever they lived, a reminder of all they had lost.
Tahrawi worked as a tailor, then ran a small shop, and raised generations of a large and loving family. He lived long enough to meet his great-great grandchildren, and was mentally and physically sharp until the end.
