26994 - 30420 Reported civilian deaths resulting from the US-led military
intervention in Iraq

http://www.iraqbodycount.net/database/

This is a human security project to establish an independent and comprehensive
public database of media-reported civilian deaths in Iraq resulting directly
from military action by the USA and its allies. This database includes up to
7,299 deaths which resulted from coalition military action during the
"major-combat" phase prior to May 1st 2003. In the current occupation phase the
database includes all deaths which the Occupying Authority has a binding
responsibility to prevent under the Geneva Conventions and Hague Regulations.
This includes civilian deaths resulting from the breakdown in law and order, and
deaths due to inadequate health care or sanitation. Results and totals are
continually updated and made immediately available on this page and on various
IBC counters which may be freely displayed on any website, where they will be
automatically updated without further intervention. Casualty figures are derived
solely from a comprehensive survey of online media reports. Where these sources
report differing figures, the range (a minimum and a maximum) are given. All
results are independently reviewed and error-checked by at least three members
of the Iraq Body Count project team before publication.
