According to the UN Human Rights Office, 861 more people have been injured in the ongoing conflict, bringing the total civilian casualty count compiled by the UN to 1,335.

The UN rights office said it has used strict methodology and only reported casualties it has been able to verify.

The UN has acknowledged that the real figures are much higher, in part because intense fighting has delayed its receipt of information and many reports still have to be confirmed.
