More than 1 in 10 Syrians have been wounded or killed since the beginning of the war in 2011, according to a new report that finds a staggering 470,000 deaths have been caused by the conflict, either directly or indirectly.
The grim tally from the Syrian Center for Policy Research (SCPR) represents a dramatic increase from the total of 250,000 fatalities often cited by the United Nations, which stopped independently counting Syria’s war dead early in 2014.
In all, 11.5 percent of Syria’s population has been wounded or killed since 2011, according to the SCPR analysis.
“Hundreds of thousands of people, particularly male breadwinners, have killed, injured, arrested, and kidnapped, enormously endangering their lives and the living conditions of their families,” the report said.
“The widespread insecurity and unbearable economic conditions and hardship, have forced millions of Syrians to resettle inside or outside the country and to depend completely on local and international humanitarian aids. This loss of security in all its forms has compromised human rights and dignity of the Syrian population.”
And we are still wondering why Syrians are fleeing the country? Are we seriously wondering why a man who lost his family in a NATO bombing would want revenge? Wouldn’t you seek revenge on those who killed your family?
