UN: 9,300 civilians have died since the war began

About 9,300 civilians have died since the start of the Russian occupation of Ukraine that began in February 2022, UN Under-Secretary-General for Political Affairs Rosemary DiCarlo told the UN Security Council meeting on July 17.

"According to the Office of the UN High Commissioner for Human Rights, 9,287 civilians have been killed and 16,384 wounded, most of them from Russian troop fire," DiCarlo said, adding that this figure includes 537 killed and 1,117 injured children.

DiCarlo emphasized that this figure represents only confirmed deaths and injuries, and that the actual number is likely to be much higher.

DiCarlo said that last year Ukraine "became the country with the highest number of children killed and maimed," as well as the country with the highest number of school and hospital bombings.

OHCHR's assessment of 19 June 2023 recorded 9,083 killed and 15,779 injured. The regions of Donetsk and Luhansk have suffered more victims than any other region./ CNA.al
