Significant decline in civilian casualties from the war's peak in March 2022 to February 2024
March 2022 marked the peak of civilian casualties with
4,289 killed and
3,013 injured, a stark contrast to the figures from February 1 to 15, 2024, which saw a significant reduction to
77 killed and
169 injured. The drastic drop in numbers indicates a considerable decrease in
conflict intensity or effectiveness of measures to protect
civilians over this period.
Highest number of injuries recorded in April 2022 since the war's onset
April 2022 experienced the highest number of civilian injuries with
1,905, underscoring a particularly intense period of conflict. This month also saw a high number of fatalities with
840 killed, highlighting a tragic peak in the war's impact on non-combatants.
Steady decrease in civilian casualties over consecutive months
A trend analysis reveals a steady decrease in both
civilian deaths and injuries from October 2022 to February 2024. October 2022 recorded
314 killed and
794 injured, which consistently diminished to
77 killed and
169 injured by mid-February 2024, illustrating a gradual reduction in the scale of violence or improved civilian safety measures.
July 2022 saw the highest number of injuries in a single month
In July 2022, the number of injured civilians reached its zenith at
1,155, the highest in any month since the conflict began. This month also observed
389 deaths, indicating a period of severe conflict intensity affecting a large number of non-combatants.
Notable decrease in civilian casualties in early 2024 compared to early 2022
Comparing the initial months of 2022 and 2024 demonstrates a notable decrease in civilian casualties. February 24 to 28, 2022, saw
377 killed and
469 injured, while February 1 to 15, 2024, recorded lower figures of
77 killed and
169 injured. This comparison underscores the reduced impact of the conflict on civilians over two years.
Significant reduction in the number of killed and injured civilians in the latest month
February 1 to 15, 2024, reported the lowest numbers for both killed and injured civilians with
77 and
169 respectively, when compared to the earlier periods of the conflict. This indicates an ongoing decline in violence or enhanced protective measures for civilians in recent times.
Continued civilian casualties despite ongoing conflict
Despite the observed decrease, the consistent recording of civilian casualties, with
164 killed and
490 injured in January 2024, emphasizes the persistent danger and impact of the conflict on non-combatant populations. The continued casualties highlight the enduring humanitarian challenges in the war zone.
Comparative analysis of casualty figures indicates varying conflict intensities
The variance in monthly casualty figures, from the high of
4,289 killed in March 2022 to a low of
77 killed in February 2024, suggests fluctuating intensities of conflict over the period. This fluctuation is indicative of the changing dynamics on the ground, impacting civilian safety and security.
