On February 11, the Syrian Center for Policy Research announced in a report that 470,000 Syrians had been killed in the war and 1.9 million wounded—that’s 11.5 percent of the population and a much higher number than reported previously. The United Nations had cited a number of 250,000 killed until it stopped gathering death statistics 18 months ago. In the meantime, over half of Syria’s population has been displaced with 4.6 million refugeesmostly in Jordan, Lebanon and Turkey, in addition to 900,000 asylum applications by Syriansin Europe since 2011, and 7.6 million internally displaced people.
