• The EUAA data citing 18,800-28,608 fatalities reflects documented violent deaths and may not include all conflict-related mortality. The MEP's upper figure of 'over 100,000' likely includes estimates of indirect deaths from famine, disease, and displacement which are harder to verify. The ACLED data of 28,608 appears to cover a specific period up to mid-2025. The UN report cited is from February 26, 2026, which the MEP could have known.
