With so many shahid getting their wish fulfilled in the Gaza, Lebanon, Iraq and Afganistan they are probably running out by now.

Well, let me refer you to an answer I posted to a similar question.

Actually, there's nothing in the Quran that speaks of any number of virgins in heaven, that is just a stereotypical rumor that some have decided to spread against Islam.
It DOES however, mention a great ammount of "houris" which is a creature of light and beauty (no mention of any sexual nature), and is meant for both the men AND the women. No one is certain what their purpose is, we can only speculate.
To answer the main part of your question, do they run out, you have to keep in mind their Creator. If God can create trillions of humans (don't forget those who have passed) and he can create universes trillions of times bigger than humans, then surely he can create enoughs heavenly creatures to fulfill his promise!

Well actually the old saying goes, "It's Virginians asshole!"
But I am pretty sure that if you look at the actual texts it says Houri's which are divine virgins, and not subject to the natural order of things. And don't have souls.
