It is worth noting that the numbers do not include more than 20000 detainees in regime prisons and thousands of those who disappeared during regime raids and massacres.

 

The numbers also do not include more than 2000 fighters from the YPG, IS, al-Nusra Front, Islamic battalions and rebel battalions who were kidnapped during clashes among the mentioned parties.

 

This statistic does not include the destiny of 5000 abductees from the civilians and rebels inside IS jails, including hundreds of people of Shaitaat tribe who were kidnapped by the Islamic State in the province of Deir Ezzor.

 

It does not include the destiny of more than 6000 detainees from the regime forces and allied militiamen and about 2000 abductees kidnapped by “Islamic State”, Jabhat al- Nusra, the rebel and Islamist factions for “supporting regime”.

 

In addition, it does not include hundreds of non- Syrian Kurdish fighters who were killed in fighting with YPG in Syria.

 

We in the Syrian Observatory for Human Rights estimates the real number of non-Syrian casualties from the IS, al-Nusra Front, Islamic factions, Jund Al-Aqsa battalion, al- Ummah Brigade, the Islamic Turkestan Party, al- Battar Battalion, Jaysh al- Muhajereen and al- Ansar, Jund al-Sham, rebel battalions, regular forces and pro-regime militants to be approximately at 95000 more than the documented number due to the extreme discretion by all sides on the human losses caused by the conflict and due to the difficulty of communication in Syria.

 

On the other hand, there are about 2 million were wounded and suffered from permanent disabilities, while more than 11 million have been displaces, as well as the infrastructure and properties have been destroyed.

 

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.
