Report: Syrian Dead, Missing Count Rises to 465,000
March 13, 2017
This week marks the sixth year of the Syrian civil war which began when the Syrian people started denouncing President Bashar al-Assad’s government.
Since then, the Syrian Observatory for Human Rights has estimated a total of 465,000 people who have either died or gone missing. A number that pales in comparison to the 4.5 million citizens who have had to flee as a result of the conflict making this, as The Daily Beast reported, “the world’s biggest refugee crisis since World War II.”
