A look at the toll 52 months of fighting have taken on Israelis and Palestinians, as the leaders of both peoples declare an end to violence.

THE VIOLENCE

Militants from groups like Hamas, Islamic Jihad and the Al Aqsa Martyrs' Brigades have carried out scores of bombings and shooting attacks in Israel and the Palestinian areas.

The Israeli military frequently raids Palestinian towns and villages. There have also been attacks on Palestinians by Israeli settlers.

PALESTINIAN SIDE

Militants have carried out 117 suicide bombings since violence erupted in September 2000, killing 494 people on the Israeli side. Eight of the suicide bombers were women.

Gunmen have carried out more than 13,000 shooting attacks, most against soldiers and settlers in the West Bank and Gaza Strip.

Palestinians have fired more than 400 homemade rockets at Israeli settlements or towns near the Gaza Strip.

ISRAELI SIDE

The largest Israeli raid was the April 2002 operation "Defensive Shield" in which the army re-conquered the West Bank.

The air force targeted Palestinian militants with 208 missile strikes, killing 447 people, including about 150 civilians.

Large-scale army raids in the Gaza Strip have destroyed or damaged 4,879 homes, leaving some 49,900 people homeless, according to the United Nations. Also, 7,862 acres of agricultural land were destroyed.

THE HUMAN TOLL

According to an AP count, 3,458 people have been killed on the Palestinian side and 1,027 on the Israeli side.

The first Palestinian uprising, from 1987-1993, claimed the lives of 1,192 Palestinians and 168 Israelis.

PALESTINIAN SIDE

Of those killed, 515 were children and minors, age 16 and under.

The Palestinian Health Ministry says 22,100 Palestinians have been injured in the fighting.

The second year of the intefadeh, from October 2001-September 2002, was the deadliest, with 1,145 Palestinians killed.

Some 8,000 Palestinians are currently held in Israeli prisoners, including several hundred who were jailed before the 1993 interim peace accords.

ISRAELI SIDE

Of the Israeli dead, 97 were children and minors age 16 and under.

Israeli army figures show that 315 members of the Israeli security forces have been killed in the fighting.

Some 7,000 Israelis have been injured, including 2,120 soldiers and police officers, according to the main rescue service and the military.

At the peak of the fighting in the second year, 203 Israelis were killed in 55 suicide bombings.

THE FINANCIAL COST

Independent economists recently estimated the Israeli economy has lost $12 billion and the Palestinian economy $4.5 billion as a result of the violence.

PALESTINIAN SIDE

The Palestinian economy has been devastated by the fighting, particularly with Israel barring thousands of Palestinians laborers from their jobs in Israel. Per capita GDP has fallen to about $930 in 2004 from $1,490 in 1999, according to World Bank figures.

Unemployment shot up to 27 percent, from 12 percent during the same period, while the poverty rate has more than doubled to 48 percent, from 20 percent.

Those World Bank figures translate into 1.7 million Palestinians living below the poverty line. Nearly one-third of those people, or 600,000 Palestinians, live below the "subsistence" level of $1.50 a day -- the amount necessary to meet basic nutritional needs.

ISRAELI SIDE

Violence was a major factor in the turndown of the Israeli economy. After climbing 8 percent in 2000, GDP contracted 0.9 percent in 2001 and 0.7 percent in 2002, and grew just 1.3 percent in 2003.

GDP expanded 4.2 percent in 2004, according to latest estimates, helped by the recent relative calm.

Tourism was greatly affected. The number of tourists sank to 862,000 in 2002 from 2.42 million in 2000, when millennium celebrations brought a record number of foreigner visitors. By 2004, the number of foreign visitors had rebounded to 1.5 million, up 41 percent from the previous year.

Israel's barring of Palestinian laborers from Israel had severe repercussions for the agricultural and construction industries. The Bank of Israel estimates that damage to these industries in the first 14 months of the fighting alone equaled 2 percent of GDP.

Also, unemployment shot up as high as 10.8 percent in January 2004 from 9.3 percent before the violence erupted. By November 2004, the unemployment rate was down to 10 percent.
