The war and famine destroy Iraq and Syria BAGHDAD: Violence in Syria and Iraq, where the militia Islamic State (ISIS) expands fear and terror, left more than 5,000 dead in November, reported the Syrian Observatory for Human Rights and the UN. Only in Syria killed more than 4,000 people and Iraq over 1000, according to the United Nations Assistance Mission for Iraq (UNAMI). In the months before the death tolls were similar. The UN has no data on Syria since this summer due to the difficulty of collecting it on the ground. The Syrian Observatory, near opposition, counted 4,220 dead in November, including more than 1,300 Islamists and a similar number in the ranks of the regime forces and nearly 900 civilians. There were deaths among the Kurdish fighters. In Iraq the Unami amounted to 936 civilians killed by terrorist attacks, to which 296 Iraqi soldiers and allied combatants who fell in combat pershmerga meet. Since the beginning of the year in Iraq have been killed 12,000 people and 22,000 were injured. The World Food Programme (WFP) announced that the UN has run out of resources and thus fail to deliver food vouchers exchangeable Syrian refugees. About 1.7 million Syrians in Jordan, Turkey, Lebanon, Egypt and Iraq will be affected by the measure. Without these vouchers in exchange for food which can be purchased in stores, many families go hungry, WFP warned. (DPA)
