More than 388,000 people have been killed since the start of the Syrian civil war, the Syrian Organization for Human Rights said today (Sunday), which monitors what is happening in the country through a network of activists on the ground.
According to the organization, among the dead were 117,388 civilians, including more than 22,000 children.
In the Syrian-affiliated organization, most of the civilians killed were during attacks by regime forces and its allies, some of which used chemical weapons.
According to the head of the organization, Rami 'Abd al-Rahman, 2020 was the least fatal year since the beginning of the war, during which more than ten thousand people were killed.
Fighting has waned in the past year thanks to a ceasefire in the northwest of the country between the Russian-backed Assad regime and Turkish-backed rebels, in addition to efforts to stem the spread of the corona plague.

The organization said it had documented at least 16,000 deaths in the regime's prisons since the outbreak of war in 2011, following violent repression of protests against Bashar Assad's rule, as part of the "Arab Spring" events.
However, the organization said the real number was probably higher because they did not include 88,000 people who were estimated to have died from torture in the regime’s prisons.
The organization controlled a third of the country's territory.

Today, Assad controls more than 60 percent of Syria's territory thanks to a series of military achievements against jihadist organizations, led by ISIS, and the rebels since 2015, with the beginning of Russian intervention alongside his regime.
It also enjoys the support of Iran, Hezbollah and other Shiite militias operated by Tehran.
The pro-Iranian forces are present in various territories in the country, and Israel is waging a war of attrition against Iran's attempts to establish itself in Syria.
Areas still left out of the regime's reach are Idlib province in the north, controlled by Turkey - backed rebels, and areas in the northeast of the country held by Kurdish forces backed by the United States.
About half of the country's population before the war, which numbered 21 million, fled its homes.
According to the Syrian Organization for Human Rights, about 200,000 people are defined as missing.
