GENEVA: The number of civilians killed in violence in Iraq over the past two years is “staggering,” the United Nations said Tuesday, with at least 18,802 people killed and another 36,245 injured.

The figures count only documented casualties from January 1, 2014 through October 31, 2015, and the actual numbers of people killed and maimed are likely far higher, according to a new report by the UN Assistance Mission for Iraq (UNAMI) and the UN human rights agency.
