This data is based on
23,104 database entries from the beginning of the war to
8 August 2010.
The most recent weeks are always in the process of compilation and will rise further. The current range
contains 4,446–4,602 deaths (4.6%–4.3%,
a portion which may rise or fall over time) based on single-sourced reports.
Graphs are based on the higher number in our
totals. Gaps in recording and reporting suggest that even our highest totals to date may be
missing many civilian deaths from violence. See Recent Events
for as yet unpublished incidents, and read About IBC for a better description
of the project's scope and limitations.
