The Syrian conflict is "drastically deteriorating" with up to 5,000 people a month dying and the total death toll reaching 100,000 people, in over two years, the UN reported. But Syria argues the figures are "unprofessionally sourced."
Between March 2011 and the end of April 2013 at least 92,901 people were killed in Syria, according to UN Assistant Secretary-General for Human Rights Ivan Simonovic. More than 6,500 of them were children. The current civilian death toll now stands at "up to 100,000 people," said Secretary-General of the UN Ban Ki-moon.
During 26 months of conflict Syria has seen the largest exodus in the past 20 years. The official number is nearly 1,8 million people now registered with the UN in countries around Syria. An average of 6,000 people a day fleeing the country, UN High Commissioner for Refugees Antonio Guterres said.
