#7 Civilian deaths were about 6500 in 2018 in Syria. They have been much higher and in 2019 will probably be a bit lower.

Civilian deaths in Iraq were about 3300 in 2018 but were far higher in the years when ISIS had territory.

Civilian deaths in the Algerian Civil war between various Islamist groups and the govt also had years with 20,000 civilian deaths and years with deaths about 2000.
