Iraqi Civilian Death Toll More Than 37,000

HeadlineAug 02, 2004

An Iraqi political group has announced it has conducted a detailed survey that found 37,000 Iraqi civilians died in the first eight months after the U.S. invasion in March 2003. The People’s Kifah released the report over the weekend. The U.S. government has never estimated how many civilians have died. The website IraqBodyCount has put the civilian death toll at between 11,000 and 13,000. But the site has been criticized for only tallying deaths that were recorded by the media.
