Estimates of the total number of deaths in the Syrian Civil War, by various war monitors, range between 580,000 as of May 2021, ^[1] and approximately 617,910 as of March 2024. ^[2] In late September 2021, the United Nations stated it had documented the deaths of at least 350,209 "identified individuals" in the conflict between March 2011 and March 2021, but cautioned the figure was "certainly an under-count" that specified only a "minimum verifiable number". ^{[3] [4] [5]}

The most violent year of the conflict was 2014, when around 110,000 people were killed. ^[6] In April 2016, UN envoy to Syria Staffan de Mistura stated that more than 400,000 people were killed in the Syrian civil war. ^[7] By mid-March 2022, opposition activist group the Syrian Observatory for Human Rights (SOHR) reported the number of children killed in the conflict had risen to 25,857, and that 15,761 women had also been killed. ^[2]

On 28 June 2022, the United Nations Human Rights Office (OHCHR) stated that at least 306,887 civilians had been killed in Syria during the conflict between March 2011 and March 2021, representing about 1.5% of its pre-war population. This figure did not include indirect and non-civilian deaths. ^{[8] [9]} As of May 2021, according to the GCR2P NGO, a minimum of 580,000 people is estimated to have been killed; with 13 million Syrians being displaced and 6.7 million refugees forced to flee Syria. Government forces reportedly arrested and tortured numerous repatriated refugees, subjecting them to forced disappearances and extrajudicial executions. ^[1]

As of February 2015, the UNHCR has designated the conflict as the "world's worst humanitarian crisis", while the head of the UNHRC's commission for Syria stated the Syrian government was responsible for the majority of civilian casualties up to that point. ^[10] The Syrian Network for Human Rights estimated the Syrian government and its foreign allies to be responsible for 91% of the total civilian casualties. ^{[11] [12] [13]} According to the pro-opposition SOHR, 87% of all civilian deaths it had documented were caused by government or pro-government forces. ^[14]

[28] The number includes 35,859 rebel combatants but does not include members of the government security forces or pro-government foreign combatants who have died. [29] Early in the conflict, the Syrian Martyrs number of civilian deaths was significantly higher than the ones presented by other organisations, including the UN; among the reasons are that they recorded deaths even when no name is given for the reportedly killed individual and that they collated reports of deaths from more sources. [30] Governorate Number of deaths Latakia 1,511 Rif Dimashq 34,813 Homs 17,993 Hama 9,867 Al-Hasakah 1,693 Daraa 14,227 Aleppo 31,257 Deir ez-Zor 9,696 Damascus 9,747 Tartus 555 Quneitra 1,069 Idlib 16,699 As-Suwayda 106 Raqqa 2,655 Total 151,888 [28] Alawite deaths In May 2013, SOHR stated that at least 41,000 of those killed during the conflict were Alawites. [31] By April 2015, reportedly a third of the country's 250,000 Alawites that were of fighting age had been killed. [32] In April 2017, a pro-opposition source claimed 150,000 young Alawites had died. [33] Civilian deaths The Syrian Network for Human Rights has stated it had documented 231,108 civilian deaths and 14 million displaced between March 2011 and January 2024.

This number does not include an estimated 55,000 civilians killed in government prisons.

FSA and Islamists) 3,097 International coalition forces 2,778 Turkish forces 1,088 Syrian Democratic Forces 576 Other jihadist factions 162 TOTAL 131,750 According to the Statista Research Department, at least 207,000 civilians had been killed by March 2023, [36] including about 25,000 children. [37] At the start of the war, Al Jazeera journalist Nir Rosen stated that many of the deaths reported daily by activists were in fact armed insurgents falsely presented as civilian deaths, but said that real civilian deaths do occur on a regular basis. [38] Several Middle East analysts, including Sharmine Narwani from the Lebanese Al Akhbar newspaper and the UAE/Saudi Al Arabiya website, also urged caution. [39] [40] This was later confirmed when in late May 2012, Rami Abdulrahman of the Syrian Observatory for Human Rights, which is one of the pro-opposition monitor groups counting the number of those killed in the uprising, stated that civilians who had taken up arms during the earliest days of the conflict were being counted under the category of "civilians" as they were not army nor army defectors. [41] [42] [43] Combatant deaths Government forces Pro-government combatants Fatalities TOTAL 171,651–184,272 [2] [44] [45] Syrian military and police 92,839–105,242 [2] [44] Syrian militias 67,905 [2] Lebanese Hezbollah 1,782–2,000 [2] [45] Russian mercenaries 273 [2] Other non-Syrian fighters 8,852 [2] The non-Syrian militiamen fatalities figure includes: over 2,000 Afghans, [46] at least 1,308 Iraqi Shia militiamen, [47] 561–620 Iranians, [48] [49] 158 Pakistanis, [50] one Lebanese member of the SSNP, [51] one member of the Lebanese Amal Movement [52] and a Saudi Shiite fighter. [53] Other sources put the overall number of killed Iranian-lead forces, which also includes the Afghan and Pakistani militias, [54] at between 2,500 and 3,500 by the end of August 2017. [55] [56] Also, 1,878 Palestinian militiamen have been killed, according to the PFLP–GC, and these include: 1,100 Liwa Al-Quds fighters, 420 PFLP–GC members, 285 members of the PLA, 42 who belonged to Fatah al-Intifada, 11 PPSF members, 10 Al Saeka Brigade fighters and 10 Free Palestine Movement members. [57] [58] Additionally, the Action Group For Palestinians of Syria reported 21 Galilee Forces fighters had been killed and put the number of dead Free Palestine Movement members higher at 24. [59] 17 PLA soldiers were also missing. [60] Except one death (August 2011), [61] all of the Hezbollah fatalities have occurred since September 2012. [62] Between October 2015 and December 2017, it was reported that 150–200 Russian security contractors had been killed. [63] [64] According to the Syrian Observatory for Human Rights, 273 Russian mercenaries were killed until mid-March 2024. [2] In addition, 1,000 civilian government officials were also killed by November 2012. [65] Anti-government forces Due to the main opposition monitor SOHR's policy early in the conflict of counting rebel fighters that were not defectors as civilians, [41] [42] [43] [66] a comprehensive number of rebels killed in the conflict, thus far, has not been ascertained. In late November 2012, SOHR estimated that at least 10,000 rebels had been killed, but noted the possibility of the figure being higher because the rebels, like the government, were lying about how many of their forces had died to make it look like they were winning. [67] In March 2013, SOHR stated that the actual number of killed rebels and government forces could be double the number they were already able to document. [68] Anti-government combatants Fatalities TOTAL 171,562–213,159 [2] [44] Syrian opposition (including non-ISIL jihadists) 112,365–153,962 [2] [44] ISIL 41,374 [2] SDF & PKK 17,875 [2] There have been 80,917 Jihadists (including foreigners) and foreign SDF fighters, [2] at least 455 anti-government suicide bombers [69] and 246 rebel child soldiers [70] [71] that have been killed in the conflict. 936 of the killed foreigners were in the SDF, mostly Kurds from parts of Kurdistan outside Syrian Kurdistan.

[98] The London-based European Centre for Syria Research put the number of Saudis killed even higher at 729 a month earlier in November 2013, out of 6,113 foreign fighters reported killed by then. [99] The jihadist movement updated the number of Jordanians killed by late May 2014 to 342, [100] although they put the figure in late October at over 250. [101] According to another estimate, the Jordanian toll was at least 500 by July 2016. [102] According to Abu Omar al-Shishani, the Chechen ISIL commander, 500 militants from the Caucasus had been killed by mid-January 2014 since the start of the war.

[211] Foreign air-strike casualties The SOHR considers the following figures on ISIL, al-Nusra and other rebel fatalities to be higher due to the groups' efforts to hide their losses. American-led intervention According to the SOHR, U.S.-led Coalition airstrikes have killed 12,868 people across Syria, of which: 9,176 dead were ISIL fighters, 374 Al-Nusra Front militants and other rebels, 169 government soldiers and 2,679 civilians.

The air strikes occurred in the period between 30 September 2015 and 30 October 2023. [213] [214] The New York Times accused the Russian air force of specifically focusing on attacking civilian hospitals and other medical facilities, including hospitals on so-called "deconfliction list". [215] [216] According to Airwars, a not-for-profit transparency project aimed both at tracking and archiving international military actions in conflict zones such as Iraq, Syria and Libya, Russian airstrikes have killed 4,326–6,416 civilians [217] [218] According to the Russian Defense Ministry, since the start of Russia's aerial campaign in Syria and by 20 October 2018, the Russian Air Force killed more than 87,500 rebels and ISIL fighters. [219] Israeli intervention According to the SOHR, more than 500 people were killed during Israeli air attacks in Syria between January 2018 and September 2020, including: 228 Hezbollah and other pro-Iranian militiamen, 171 Iranian soldiers, 98 Syrian government fighters [220] and 13 civilians were killed by Israel Armed Forces. [221] According to the SOHR, 119 people were killed during Israeli air attacks in Syria between January and November 3, 2021, including: 38 Syrian soldiers and militiamen, 24 Iraqi militiamen, 17 Afghan militiamen, five Pakistani militiamen, 21 other pro-Iranian foreign militiamen and five civilians. [222] According to the SOHR, 90 people were killed during Israeli air attacks in Syria between January and December 2022, including: 36 military officers and members of the military's air defences, 11 Iranian-backed Syrian militiamen, 29 Iranian-backed non-Syrian militiamen, 11 Syrian and non-Syrian militiamen working for the Lebanese Hezbollah and one civilian. [223] According to the SOHR, between January and December 2023, Israeli airstrikes killed 40 Syrian soldiers, 35 Iranian-backed non-Syrian militiamen, six Iranian servicemen, seven Iranian-backed Syrian militiamen, 20 members of Hezbollah, two members of “Al-Jihad Al-Islami” and four civilians. [224] Medical workers killed Killings of medical workers since the start of the Syrian Civil War, according to a PHR summary [225]   Attacks by government forces (95.5%)   ISIL or rebel groups (2.5%)   Kurdish forces (0.1%)   Unknown forces (1.9%) A February 2015 joint report by the Center for Public Health and Human Rights of the Johns Hopkins Bloomberg School of Public Health and the Syrian American Medical Society asserted that "Syria is the most dangerous place in the world to be a doctor". [226] Roughly half (an estimated 15,000) [227] of Syrian doctors fled the country. [228] The government passed a law in 2012 making it illegal to render medical aid to anyone suspected to be an opposition member and Amnesty International found that doctors and medical staff also took part in torture of patients. [227] Physicians for Human Rights has been tracking the medical personnel deaths in Syria, though they state that "these numbers are conservative given the difficulties in reporting during a war." As of the end of September 2015, the number of medical workers killed in the Syrian civil war totaled 679. [229] In March 2017, the number of killed medical personnel was updated to more than 800. 723 of these deaths were attributable to the Syrian government, while 72 were killed by ISIL or rebel groups, one by Kurdish forces, and 13 by unidentified forces. [230] Towards the end of May 2020, the SNHR put the death toll at 855 medical personnel, of which 669 were killed by government forces, 68 by the Russian military, 40 by ISIL, and 36 by the rebels. [231] Médecins Sans Frontières has reported that suppliers in Syria refuse to sell essential medical supplies such as gauze and surgical threads to doctors due to government intimidation, with this being a particular problem for besieged areas. [227] See also Casualties of the Iraq War Casualty recording Asia portal Notes "The Syrian Observatory for Human Rights (SOHR) has documented by names the death of 507,567 people since the outbreak of the Syrian Revolution out of an overall death toll of 617,910 people whose death has been verified by SOHR in the past 12 years."
