The Syrian Observatory For Human Rights

More than 4000 people killed in Syria in September 2015

The Syrian Observatory for Human Rights documented the death of 4219 people in September 2015.

 

The death toll is as follows:

 

1201 civilians, including 257 children and 141 women, distributed as follows:

 

489 civilians, including 104 children and 66 women, killed by airstrikes carried out by the regime warplanes and helicopters.

 

41 civilians, includes 4 women, executed by IS.

 

18 civilians killed by US-led coalition airstrikes.

 

473 civilians, including 152 children and 70 women, killed under torture inside the regime jails and due to shells launched by YPG, Jabhat al- Nusra, IS, the rebels and Islamist factions, as well as in shelling by the regime forces, firing by the Turkish border guards, explosions and unknown circumstances.   

   

Syrian fighters of YPG, Rebel and Islamist factions: 557.

 

Non- Syrian fighters of IS, Jabhat al- Nusra, Jaysh al Muhajereen wal Ansra Army, Turkestan Islamic Party and the Chechen Jonound al- Sham: 1170.

 

Defected soldiers: 4.

 

Regular regime soldiers and officers: 606.

 

Militiamen of the People’s Committees and NDF as well as informers: 615.

 

Hezbollah militiamen: 30.

 

Non- Syrian pro- regime fighters who are from the Shiite Sect: 22.

 

Unidentified victims (documented by photos and footage): 10.

 
We in the Syrian Observatory for Human Rights estimates the real number of non-Syrian casualties from the IS, Jabhat al- Nusra, Islamic factions, Jund Al-Aqsa battalion and pro-regime militants is approximately hundreds of soldiers and fighters more than the documented number because of  reticence about casualties by all parties, the difficulties of reaching to the outback and the difficulties to investigate about those who have died inside the regime or IS  jails.

 

 

SOHR is not going to stop to calls upon the members of the UN Security Council to issue a binding resolution that prohibits targeting the civilians in Syria, where massacres committed against them every day under the nose of the international community which do not make any step to stop the ongoing violations committed against the Syrian people who dream of establishing the state of democracy, justice, freedom and equality.
