At least 4,360 people have died in Syria in 2023, including almost 1,900 civilians. This represents the highest death toll since 2020 in a war that began more than a decade ago. The Syrian Observatory for Human Rights has said the figure is higher than last year, when 3,825 people died, the lowest number since the armed conflict began in 2011. The 1,889 civilians killed this year include: In addition 241 women and 307 children, according to the UK-based NGO and informants on Syrian territory. Therefore, the organization regrets that despite all attempts to find solutions and “stop changing the future of Syrians, as well as the Security Council resolutions and ceasefires, (…) the bloodshed on Syrian soil continues and the massacres and fighting continue. ” “We once again call on the parties to work seriously and continuously with the greatest possible strength to stop the bloodshed of the Syrian people, who have been subjected to tyranny and injustice, in order to achieve a state of democracy, freedom, justice and equality,” he said. In this sense, he stressed that “those responsible for crimes, violations and atrocities against the Syrian people will be brought to justice” and reiterated his commitment to continue documenting human rights violations on the ground.
