More than 115,000 people have lost their lives in the 30-month conflict between rebels and the forces loyal to Syria’s President Bashar al-Assad, according to activists.<\/p>\n
Of this total, 6,000 victims are children, and 4,000 women, the UK-based Syrian Observatory for Human Rights said Tuesday.<\/p>\n
Besides civilians, tens of thousands of soldiers and rebel fighters have been killed in the conflict which began in March 2011 and has escalated into a gruesome civil war, the watchdog noted.<\/p>\n
In the month of September alone, 5,000 people died in the fighting, it said.<\/p>\n
Mass killings have not ceased with the Russian-US deal to dismantle Syria’s chemical weapons arsenal after the Aug 21 poison gas attack near Damascus that killed hundreds of civilians, it added.<\/p>\n
A total of 47,000 soldiers and pro-Assad militiamen have been killed in the fighting and around 23,000 rebels, including deserters from the Syrian army, according to the watchdog.<\/p>\n
Of the 41,000 civilians who have been killed, 3,000 have never been identified, said the Observatory, which relies for its information on a network of activists and doctors inside Syria.<\/p>\n
