Claimed by UN OCHA Emergency Relief Coordinator Tom Fletcher (International)
Civilian casualty figures in active conflict zones are inherently contested; the OCHA estimate and Airwars verification together suggest hundreds of civilian deaths, with the exact figure requiring post-conflict investigation.
OCHA relies partially on Iranian government health ministry data, which may be subject to political pressures in both directions. Airwars independently documented at least 412 civilian deaths through open-source verification. The true figure likely falls between these estimates.
