WASHINGTON (Dispatches) -- The total number of reported fatalities in Yemen has passed the 91,000 mark over the past four and a half years, says the U.S.-based Armed Conflict Location and Event Data Project (ACLED).
The nonprofit conflict-research organization, which builds its database on news reports from Yemeni and international media and international agencies, recently said 11,900 people were killed this year, compared to 30,800 in 2018. The group said that in 2015 about 17,100 people were killed, the second-most lethal year after 2018, which was the deadliest on record.
