Estimating civilian deaths in Iraq – six surveys extracts from www.onlinejournal.com/artman/publish/article_643.shtml dated 2006-03-29.
Iraq Body Count Website : “minimum” number (of civilian killed) now stands at about 34,000.
The People’s Kifah Survey : Six months after the invasion, an Iraqi group called the People’s Kifah mobilized hundreds of academics and volunteers who “spoke and coordinated with grave-diggers across Iraq, obtained information from hospitals and spoke to thousands of witnesses who saw incidents in which Iraqi civilians were killed by U.S. fire.” .... However, after only a month or two’s work, the People’s Kifah had already gathered evidence of at least 37,000 violent civilian deaths by October 2003.
The Iraq Living Conditions Survey : a low figure of about 24,000 “war deaths.” .... the period covered by this survey was one of relative calm, and the two years of increasing violence that have followed are unaccounted for.
The Lancet Report : They estimated that at least 100,000 Iraqi civilians had died in the previous 18 months as a result of the invasion and occupation of their country
Iraqi Health Ministry Reports : In the three months from June 10 to September 10, it counted 1,295 civilians killed by U.S. forces and their allies and 516 killed in “terrorist” operations.
six months from July 1, 2004, to January 1, 2005. This report cited 2,041 civilians killed by U.S. and allied forces versus 1,233 by “insurgents.”
Iraqiyun Survey : It released its report on July 12, 2005, making it the most recent survey to date. It counted 128,000 actual violent deaths, of whom 55 percent were women and children under the age of 12. The report specified that it included only confirmed deaths reported to relatives, omitting the large numbers of people who have simply disappeared without trace amid the violence and chaos.
Now the referenced article only contained SIX surveys, but I thought it prudent to contain the world's definative source for a SEVENTH survey. I hereby announce the results of the ...
