Extraction of media-reported civilian injuries from the Iraq Body Count database and archive of war reports provides evidence of at least 20,000 civilian injuries on top of the maximum reported 7798 deaths. 8,000 of these injuries were in the Baghdad area alone, suggesting that the full, countrywide picture, as with deaths, is yet to emerge.

Citing an American academic, a BBC report on Thursday said the number of Afghan civilians killed by US bombs had surpassed the death toll of the 11 September attacks. Nearly 3,800 Afghans had died between 7 October and 7 December, Prof Marc Herold of the University of New Hampshire said in a research report.
Basing his findings on data collected from news agencies, major newspapers and first-hand accounts since the attacks began, Herold placed the civilian death toll conservatively at 3,767. "I think that a much more realistic figure would be around 5,000," he reportedly said.
This figure was well in excess of the estimated 2,998 people killed in the 11 September attacks on New York and Washington, the BBC report added.
Meanwhile, the US has denied accusations of indiscriminate or unaccountable bombings, as well as reports that hundreds, perhaps thousands, of innocent civilians have been killed since US retaliatory strikes were first launched on 7 October.
