|Iraqi deaths.

''']''' conducted August 12-19, 2007 estimated 1,220,580 violent deaths due to the Iraq War. A nationally representative sample of 1,499 Iraqi adults answered whether any members of their household (living under their roof) were killed due to the Iraq War. 22% of the respondents had lost one or more household members. ORB reported that "48% died from a gunshot wound, 20% from the impact of a car bomb, 9% from aerial bombardment, 6% as a result of an accident and 6% from another blast/ordnance."{{ref|ORB}}{{ref|ORB2}}{{ref|ORB3}}
----
The ''']''' (IBC) figure of 70,604 to 77,121 civilian deaths reported in English-language media (including Arabic media translated into English) up to 25 August 2007 includes civilian deaths due to coalition and insurgent military action, sectarian violence and increased criminal violence. The IBC says the figure likely underestimates because: "it should be noted that many deaths will likely go unreported or unrecorded by officials and media."{{ref|IBC}} For the one-year period between 20 March 2006 and 16 March 2007 the Iraq Body Count reported approximately 26,540 civilian deaths.{{ref|IBC2}}
----
The ''']''' reported that 34,452 violent deaths occurred in 2006, based on data from morgues, hospitals, and municipal authorities across Iraq.{{ref|nytimes}}
----
The ''']''' figure of 654,965 excess deaths through the end of June 2006 is based on household survey data. The estimate is for all excess violent and nonviolent deaths. That also includes those due to increased lawlessness, degraded infrastructure, poorer healthcare, etc.. 601,027 deaths (range of 426,369 to 793,663 using a 95% ]) were estimated to be due to violence. 31% of those were attributed to the Coalition, 24% to others, 46% unknown. The causes of violent deaths were gunshot (56%), car bomb (13%), other explosion/ordnance (14%), air strike (13%), accident (2%), unknown (2%).{{ref|Lancet}}
----
'''] ]''' estimated 100,000 to 150,000 Iraq War deaths in a November 2006 press conference, based on extrapolating the 2006 rate of 100 deaths per day recorded in hospitals and morgues backward to March 2003. War-related deaths (civilian and non-civilian), and deaths from criminal gangs.{{ref|TaipeiTimes}}{{ref|tribune}}
----
''']:''' "At least 50,000 Iraqis have died violently"&mdash;as of June 2006. "Many more Iraqis are believed to have been killed but not counted because of serious lapses in recording deaths. ... The Los Angeles Times attempted to reach a comprehensive figure by obtaining statistics from the Baghdad morgue and the Health Ministry and checking those numbers against a sampling of local health departments for possible undercounts."{{ref|LAT}}

<!-- On the www.icasualties.org/oif page near the top add the total of
UK and other deaths to see if there has been another death.
If so, then the main chart of coalition deaths
by nation is halfway down that page. Use the chart to figure out which
number to change for which nation. If you want to redo the whole list,
it can be pasted into a text editor. Then delete the tabs and extra spaces.
Then add periods between the nations.
Then wordwrap the list by joining the lines. Then
paste the paragraph of nations and numbers here above.
WHEN EDITING THIS SECTION, PLEASE NOTE:
The figures at www.icasualties.org/oif/
are updated more often than those on other web sites
that track casualties, and unlike many other sites,
their figures are backed up by a complete listing of
names, dates, and places of death. Often, news
stories quote slightly smaller figures reported by
the Pentagon, but these are typically a few days out
of date and incomplete for countries other than the U.S.
