| | | |||
| ''']''' 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}}{{ref|ORB4}} | |||
| ---- | |||
| The ''']''' (IBC) figure of '''73,390 to 79,999''' civilian deaths reported in English-language media (including Arabic media translated into English) up '''to 21 September 2007''' includes civilian deaths due to coalition and insurgent military action, sectarian violence and increased criminal violence. The IBC site states: "it should be noted that many deaths will likely go unreported or unrecorded by officials and media."{{ref|IBC}} For the 4th year of the war 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}} | |||
| ---- | |||
| Concerning war-related deaths (civilian and non-civilian), and deaths from criminal gangs, '''] ]''' said that since the March 2003 invasion between '''100,000-150,000''' Iraqis had been killed.{{ref|tribune}} "Al-Shemari said on Thursday '''[Nov. 9, 2006]''' that he based his figure on an estimate of 100 bodies per day brought to morgues and hospitals – though such a calculation would come out closer to 130,000 in total."{{ref|TaipeiTimes}} | |||
| ---- | |||
| ''']:''' "'''At least 50,000''' Iraqis have died violently"—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}} | |||
