SOHR documented the death of 5772 people, who were killed in October 2014, and they are as following :

1064 civilians, including 251 children under the age of 18 and 112 women.

1552 Syrian fighters from rebels and Islamic battalions and YPG.

3 dissident soldiers.

1342 Non-Syrian fighters from the IS, Jabhat al-Nusra, al-Mohajrin wa al-Ansar army, and Jund al-Aqsa.

876 soldiers from regime forces.

770 NDF, peoples committees and regime spies.

28 Hezbollah.

128 Non-Syrian fighters allied to regime forces, including Shiaa fighters.

9 unknown people.

We, in SOHR, believed that the real number of casualties on the fighting parties is more than 1500, because there is absolute secrecy on casualties and due to the difficulty of access to many areas and villages that have witnessed violent clashes and bombardment by all sides.
