“The UN
Assistance Mission for Iraq (UNAMI) said in a statement on Sunday
that 611 civilians were among the 1,103 people killed last month. The
rest were members of the security forces.”
“UNAMI
further said at least 2,280 people, including 1,353 civilians, were
wounded across Iraq last month, adding that the capital city of
Baghdad was worst hit by the violence with 329 people dead and 875
injured.”
“The UN
mission also put January’s death toll at least 1,375, including
some 790 civilians. The numbers provided by the UN do not include the
death toll in the country’s regions held by the Takfiri ISIL
group.”
“The
report came a day after two deadly car bomb attacks killed more than
50 people and wounded some 70 others in the eastern Iraqi province of
Diyala and the city of Samarra in Salahuddin in the country’s
north. According to UNAMI, last year was the deadliest in Iraq
since 2006-2007, with a total of 12,282
people killed and 23,126 wounded.”
