We’ll never be able to have an exact number, honestly. Mass casualty counts are essentially always estimates, which became necessary as war became longer, larger, and more destructive (incapability to recover/identify bodies and decimated communities/troops). With bombing campaigns, finding intact remains, especially in rubble, is already challenging. Displacement, separation of communities, and loss of records/systems/infrastructure (gov’t, healthcare) are also huge factors. It’s very sad.

The most difficult thing for me to reconcile is the loss of humanitarianism and empathy (very simply put). We don’t know every victim, we don’t know who may still be alive. They may never be recognized and receive justice and dignity. It’s gutting to see the videos of people searching for their families, finding the bodies of their loved ones, having to leave their homes. I cannot begin to imagine the pain, the trauma, and the mental and physical anguish
