PLEASE DONATE NOW
TIME-LIMITED APPEAL

Help us continue to document this war’s human losses.

Help us continue to make the data freely available to all.

And help us continue to humanise the Iraqi victims behind the numbers.

Five years after the invasion Iraq Body Count (IBC) not only continues to keep a firm day-by-day count, it also maintains the largest public list of named and identified Iraqi dead.

IBC’s work remains a key and unique resource for institutions, researchers, media, and individual citizens.

But IBC is still run by volunteers on a shoestring. Billions are being spent on this war, but almost nothing on recording its Iraqi victims.

If you think we are doing an important job, please don’t leave the website without making a donation.

Your contribution will ensure that the Iraq war’s
civilian victims continue to be visibly and
verifiably documented.

   

Analysis: Questions and Answers looks in detail at a range of specific questions on the war and its casualties, as well as this project and others attempting to estimate or record those casualties.
