A new study conducted by the Iraqi Government and the United Nations World Health Organization (WHO) shows that approximately 151,000 Iraqis have died from violence between March 2003 and June 2006.
The findings, published today on the web site of the New England Journal of Medicine, are based on information collected in a wider survey of family health in Iraq, designed to help the Government develop health polices and services. They are based on interviews with 9,345 households in nearly 1,000 neighbourhoods and villages across the country.
