(MENAFN- The Peninsula) More than 76,000 people were killed in Syria's brutal conflict in 2014, making it the bloodiest year yet in the country's nearly four-year war, a monitor said yesterday.
The conflict that began in March 2011 shows no sign of abating, with President Bashar Al Assad making a rare public appearance on a front line overnight to bolster soldiers and pro-government fighters.
In Syria, the Syrian Observatory for Human Rights, a monitoring group, recorded 76,021 deaths last year.
The Britain-based group documented the deaths of nearly 18,000 civilians throughout 2014, among them 3,501 children.
