360,000 people killed during the 7 years of the Syrian war

More than 360,000 people have been killed in Syria in the war for 7 years.

That was the statement from the Human Rights Monitoring Agency in Syria (SOHR) on Thursday (09/13/2018), as reported by AFP.

Meanwhile, the international community is concerned about the Syrian government attack on rebels in Idlib province which will be a major bloodbath.

Syrian War

So far, there were 364,792 people recorded as dead, of which one third were civilians.

The number of victims shows an increase of around 13,000 in the past six months.

In detail, the war killed 110,687 civilians, including more than 20,000 children and nearly 13,000 women.

More than 124,000 pro-government fighters have been killed, about half of them in government regime forces and the rest consisting of Syrian and foreign militias loyal to Assad.

Among them, there were 1,665 casualties from the Lebanese Hezbollah movement.

SOHR recorded the death of 64,000 people from hardline groups, including from the ISIS group and former Al-Qaeda affiliated factions.

As many as 64,800 members from other groups, including rebels, defected soldiers and the Kurdish faction, have also been killed since the war raged in 2011.

End of humanitarian assistance from Israel

Regarding humanitarian assistance, the Israeli military announced the end of operations on humanitarian and medical assistance for Syrian residents in the Golan Heights.

Israel has a policy of providing assistance to Syrian residents who reach the Golan armistice, without engaging in conflict.

"This humanitarian assistance has ended with the return of the Syrian regime in the southern part of Syria," said an Israeli military statement.

In the past five years, as many as 4,900 Syrian civilians, including 1,300 children, have been treated at Israeli hospitals.

About 7,000 Syrians were also treated in emergency hospitals near Holan's ceasefire line.

Food, medical equipment, medicines, tents, generators, fuel and clothing were given to them as part of "Operation Good Neighbor"
