The list of Civilian Casualties in Iraq Now Exceeds the 9-11 Toll
Named and identified victims of the war on Iraq
In remembrance--September 2004
This table lists the names of 3,029 civilians killed as a result of the US-led military intervention in Iraq up to September 12th 2004. This collection was compiled by members of the Iraq Body Count project (IBC), using a wide range of sources, primarily press and media reports. Approximately 2,000 of the names were supplied by Raed Jarrar, an Iraqi researcher who directed an on-the-ground, door-to-door survey undertaken by 150 Iraqi volunteers in the Summer of 2003 (http://civilians.info/iraq/), in collaboration with the US-based Campaign for Innocent Victims in Conflict (CIVIC) directed by Marla Ruzicka (http://www.civicworldwide.org/).
Full names are listed for 2,737 dead. To these are added a further 292 dead for whom a partial name or familial relationship has been established. Where gender was recorded, 2,192 of those killed were male and 630 were female. At least 618 of the dead whose ages are known were less than 18 years old, and 64 were babies no more than two years old.
As of the date of compilation, named and identified individuals represent just twenty per cent of the civilian deaths compiled from media reports in the IBC database.To those who knew and loved them, we add our sorrow and condolences
