UN say 93,000 confirmed killed in Syria

Almost 93,000 people have been confirmed killed in the Syrian conflict, but the real number is likely to be far higher, the UN says.

Its analysis documented 92,901 killings in Syria between March 2011 and the end of April 2013. But UN’s top human rights official, Navi Pillay, acknowledged that it was impossible to put an exact figure on the death toll from Syria’s upward spiral of violence.
