Since the start of the U.S. and Israeli war against Iran in the Middle East, thousands of people have been killed. The conflict has engulfed dozens of cities and territories, and the dead include both civilians and military personnel. The highest casualty counts have been recorded in Iran and Lebanon, but other countries in the region are also paying a terrible price for the war.
Iran: Iranian authorities have not released the latest overall figures on the country’s casualties. Last Monday, Iran’s foreign minister stated that “hundreds of Iranian civilians,” including more than 200 children, have been killed since the start of the conflict. According to the human rights organization HRANA, at least 1,407 civilians, including 214 children, as well as 1,167 military personnel, have been killed during the same period. Another 657 people have been killed, but it has not yet been determined whether they were civilians or military personnel.
Lebanon: According to updated data from the Lebanese Ministry of Health, at least 1,039 people have been killed in Israeli strikes in the country over the three weeks of the war. Among them are 118 children.
Iraq: At least 61 members of Iraq’s Popular Mobilization Forces have been killed since the start of the conflict, the paramilitary groups themselves reported. Additionally, five members of Iranian Kurdish groups, one Iraqi Kurdish security officer, and one French soldier were killed, the groups and the Kurdistan Regional Government reported.
Israel: At least 16 people have been killed in Israel over the past three weeks. Nine were killed when a rocket struck a residential building during the first weekend of the war. One civilian was killed by friendly fire on the border with Lebanon yesterday, and two Israeli soldiers were killed in Lebanon on March 8, the army reported.
U.S.: Thirteen American service members have died since the start of the conflict. Six of them were killed when their refueling aircraft crashed in Iraq on March 12. Six more American service members were killed during an Iranian strike on a temporary operations center in Kuwait on March 1, and one service member died nearly a week later from injuries sustained during an attack on Saudi Arabia on the same day, according to CENTCOM.
UAE: The United Arab Emirates reported that two of its soldiers have been killed in “attacks” since the start of the conflict. In addition, six people of other nationalities—Pakistanis, Nepalese, Bangladeshis, and Palestinians—have been killed.
Qatar: Seven people died after a helicopter crash in Qatar last weekend, according to the country’s Ministry of Interior. Qatar’s Ministry of Defense explained that the helicopter crashed due to a “technical malfunction” while performing a routine mission. It is unknown whether these deaths were related to the war.
Kuwait: At least six people have been killed in Kuwait since the start of the conflict, including an 11-year-old girl who died from injuries sustained when shrapnel struck a residential area on March 4, according to the state-run Kuwait News Agency.
West Bank: Four Palestinian women, including a 32-year-old who was six months pregnant, were killed after rocket shrapnel struck a beauty salon in the occupied West Bank. Palestinian authorities reported that the cause was an Iranian ballistic missile carrying cluster munitions.
Oman: At least three foreigners have been killed in or near the coast of Oman since the start of the conflict. Two died in a drone crash near Sohar, the country’s Ministry of Defense reported on March 13.
Bahrain: At least two people have been killed in Bahrain, including a 29-year-old woman who died following an Iranian strike on the capital, Manama, according to the Ministry of Interior.
Saudi Arabia: Two people, an Indian national and a Bangladeshi national, were killed after a military shell struck a residential building in the city of Al-Kharj on March 8, according to Saudi Civil Defense.
These figures illustrate the scale of the tragedy: the conflict has claimed thousands of lives among civilians and military personnel in many countries across the region. Each new attack deepens the humanitarian crisis and complicates the search for a peaceful solution.
