Iraqi death counts

XX Up to 55,000 people died as a direct result of the Iraq war, according to a report from Medact (an organisation of health professionals). Their figure is based on several sources, including the civilian death figure from IraqBodyCount.org and press reports of Iraqi armed forces deaths.

They also mention the psychological aftermath of war creating "enormous anxiety" and leading to increases in mental disorders, suicide, drug/alcohol abuse and social/domestic violence. (Associated Press, 12/11/03)
