Iraq: Deaths

Question
asked Her Majesty's Government:What is their estimate of how many people died in the conflict in Iraq in January 2008.
Answer

The security situation in Iraq has improved over the last few months, but deaths by violent means continue to be difficult to gauge accurately or reliably. Estimates, drawn up by a variety of organisations, vary greatly. The Government's view remains that records of civilian deaths are best monitored by the Iraqi Government.
