This report is the latest in our series on Syria. Today’s report is in
two parts:
1) NCF Casualty estimates
and
2) All other Casualty estimates. The
second half of this latter report is so extensive that we have only included the
summary here under the title “Casualties in more detail”. The full background by
region of Syria can be accessed on the NCF Syria blog on the following link:

FIGURES
Casualties – The NCF casualty estimates
The NCF estimates for civilian dead are enormous this week and represent
the highest ever civilian total. Caution must be exercised. Some press reports
(e.g. 60 dead bodies on a rubbish dump in Katana- seem on closer investigation
to be false though we do our best to investigate these when we can). There are
no independent sources for casualty estimates (other than the occasional news
report). The casualty figures for “government dead” that the NCF uses in this
report are based on those from the Syrian Observatory which are the only figures
for government dead available. We hope you will use your discernment. The main
value of these figures is as an indication of a trend. We give you our casualty
estimates and then give you data from the other sources upon which they are
based so that you can arrive at your own conclusions. The full background data
upon which those other casualty estimates are based can be found on the NCF Syria blog on this link.

the source is given and a day by day breakdown of totals. For more detail

order to understand the full basis on which NCF casualty estimates are
calculated) go to the NCF Syria blog on this link.

Most organisations including the LCC figures do not distinguish between
civilians and rebel soldiers (lumping both groups together as “martyrs”).
