A human rights group inside of Yemen released the appalling death toll after 300 days of fighting; this figure did not include any gunmen on either side, but did highlight the primary cause of death for the civilian population.
According to the numerical figures released: 4,625 adult males, 1,519 adult females, and 1,996 children (male and female) were reportedly killed since March of 2015.
The death toll is calculated at 8,143 civilian lives, with the overwhelming majority of these deaths coming from the Saudi Royal Air Force’s merciless bombing campaign over densely populated cities like Sanaa, Ta’iz, and Saada.
