New Report: 55,000 Casualties in Iraq War

The international health charity Medact released a new report Monday, titled Continuing Collateral Damage. It finds that between March and October, there were 9,500 civilian casualties in Iraq. It also estimates that 22,000 to 55,000 people on all sides, including in the military, died in the war and its aftermath. This number includes military on both sides.

Iraqis will suffer the health consequences of the second Gulf war "for years, maybe generations", says [the] report warning of an "information black hole" on what is truly happening in the country.
