How many Iraqi civilians have died in Iraq since the end of Saddam Hussein's regime?

Question

Please stop being mean everyone. I am not blaming anyone. I am just asking a question.

Answer 1

For all of you who state random figures off the top of your heads how about you don't answer questions you don't have a clue about, and instead pick up a paper once and a while.


BAGHDAD, Jan. 16 — The United Nations reported Tuesday that more than 34,000 Iraqis were killed in violence last year.

The United Nations report said an average of 94 Iraqis died every day in 2006, with about half the deaths occurring in the capital. A majority died from gunshot wounds, in execution-style killings that are a common method for death squads, both Sunni and Shiite.

Under Saddam's regime many hundreds of thousands of people have died as a result of his actions - the vast majority of them Muslims.

According to a 2001 Amnesty International report, "victims of torture in Iraq are subjected to a wide range of forms of torture, including the gouging out of eyes, severe beatings and electric shocks... some victims have died as a result and many have been left with permanent physical and psychological damage."

Answer 2

By civilians, do you mean innocent ones or ones killed fighting with the terrorists?


Civilian deaths have risen dramatically in Iraq since the country was invaded in March 2003, according to a survey conducted by researchers from the Johns Hopkins Bloomberg School of Public Health, Columbia University School of Nursing and Al-Mustansiriya University in Baghdad. The researchers found that the majority of deaths were attributed to violence, which were primarily the result of military actions by Coalition forces. Most of those killed by Coalition forces were women and children. However, the researchers stressed that they found no evidence of improper conduct by the Coalition soldiers.

The survey is the first countrywide attempt to calculate the number of civilian deaths in Iraq since the war began. The United States military does not keep records on civilian deaths and record keeping by the Iraq Ministry of Health is limited. The study is published in the October 29, 2004, online edition of The Lancet.

Estimates of deaths range from 60,000 to 100,000. That includes those dieing of natural causes, accidents as well as violence.

Answer 3

Mass graves of about 400,000 were discovered after the Iraq warfare, brought about in the course of the Saddam regime. Saddam also gassed an expected ninety seven Kurd cities. have you ever considered the bloated body of someone killed by technique of chemical guns? maximum estimates taken in the course of the Iraq warfare (Gulf warfare II, truly), contain Iraqis killed by technique of alternative Iraqis, and from sources you won't be able to trust. American squaddies did not in basic terms flow round killing human beings in Iraq, that would were suggested by technique of the embedded media. each stubbed toe replaced into virtually suggested in the course of the occupation. there replaced right into a strategies extra killing occurring at the same time as Saddam Hussein replaced into in power. He replaced into killing about 2,000 of his personal human beings each month up until eventually then, for inspite of reason.

Answer 4

The Pentagon doesn't keep count of civilian deaths.

Estimates have had to be made using interviews (cluster samples) and press coverage and extrapolating those figures. The article in the Lancet estimates over 100,000 civilian deaths.

Answer 5

I think an independent committee of scientists and doctors from the US carried out a thorough study last year and put the figure at 800,000. But the politicians and the media who supported the war, saw to it that it received the minimum publicity.

Answer 6

By some estimates it is in the hundreds of thousands.

Answer 7

Less than when your friend was in charge I'd wager.

Bush Won so please move to Canada like you promiced.

Answer 8

10,000,000,000,000
