UN: Ukraine Death Toll Doubled in Past Week
Posted On October 14, 2020
The death toll from ongoing conflict in Ukraine has nearly doubled in the past week, the United Nations human rights office said Wednesday.
A “very conservative estimate” indicates that as of Aug. 10, 2,086 have died, compared to 1,129 on July 26, spokesperson Cecile Pouilly told media.

Pouilly added that the rising toll marked a “clear escalating trend,” and, while the numbers included Ukrainian armed forces, civilians and armed groups, the numbers for civilian casualties “are likely to be under-reported.” Among the 2,000 killed are at least 20 children, she said.
In the first week of August, an average of 70 people a day have been killed, she added.
