Gazan Christians

Gazan Christians are Palestinian Christians from the Gaza Strip, a part of the Israeli-occupiedPalestinian territories. They constitute one of the oldest Christian communities in the world.

Presently, the Gazan Christian community is concentrated in Gaza City. The majority are autochthonous inhabitants and the rest are descendants of refugees from the 1948 Palestine war. As of 2025, they reportedly number around 1,000 individuals, less than 1% of the total population of the Gaza Strip. Israeli bombing during the Gaza war (2023–present) has put the community at risk of extinction.
