United Nations archives over 191,000 deaths on Syrian civil war's death toll.
The death toll has risen since the United Nations' human rights committee has documented more than 100,000 deaths since July 2013. UNICEF also reported that more than 500 children had been killed since February 2012. There were also reports that states than 400 children were arrested and tortured in Syrian prisons. The allegations have been disputed by the government of Syria. Moreover, more than 600 detainees and political prisoners died under torture. These figures are adding up to the Syrian civil war death toll.
The United Nations reported that 8,803 children had been killed by the end of April 2014, while a total of 11, 420 children who have died in the battle since late November 2013. In late August 2014, Syrian Observatory for Human Rights, an opposition activist group conveyed that the number of children killed during the war had grown to 9,428 while 6,063 women were killed at the same time. The Syria death toll is indeed rising.
Updated last June 30, 2014, reports stated that the number of casualties in the conflict had been estimated to 110,239. The figures include 21,162 rebels, 326 foreign fighters, 856 foreign civilians in which 684 of them were Palestinians were included in the death toll during the combat. A thousand civilian government officials were also reportedly killed.
In mid-July, reports showed that an estimated 16,855 foreign opposition fighters and 49 foreign soldiers have been killed. Reports explain that the real number of casualties in the murderous conflict had been probably tragically underestimated in the three years of the civil war.
Syrian President Bashar Assad was re-elected last month despite the ranging civil war. It was then reported that the military casualties had intensified resulting to unparalleled high death toll among troops battling Islamic extremists. An estimated 1,240 soldiers have been killed in the past 10 days in northern Syria as per recorded.
Syria confirmed that in the past weeks, increasing record of death toll has been tallied. And over 191,000 deaths have been reported in Syria's three-year civil war.
With the growing number in Syria's war death toll, one can still be hopeful that more deaths will be prevented in the future and the conflict will be finally resolved for a stronger, unified and peaceful Syria.
