00:26How many people have been killed
00:29in the war?
00:30That question no longer has a simple answer, because this war isn't confined to one battlefield.
00:37It's spreading across borders, across nations, across lives.
00:42What began on February 28th with the killing of Iran's supreme leader has spiraled into
00:49a widening U.S.-Israel war on Iran, and the human cost is rising by the day.
00:55In Iran, the numbers are staggering.
00:59At least 1,444 people have been killed, and more than 18,000 injured, a devastating toll
01:07as strikes continue to hit military and civilian areas alike.
01:12Lebanon is the next hardest hit.
01:14Since March 2, 968 people have been killed in Israeli attacks, among them over 100 children.
01:23In Iraq, the conflict has claimed 60 lives, most of them fighters from Iran-backed militias.
01:30Even countries not directly at war are being pulled in.
01:34In Israel, 17 people have been killed, including civilians caught in cross-border fire and soldiers
01:42in southern Lebanon.
01:43The United States has also suffered losses.
01:47Thirteen service members have died, some in combat operations, others in a deadly aircraft
01:53crash over Iraq.
01:55Across the Gulf, the violence continues to ripple outward.
01:59The UAE has reported eight deaths.
02:02Kuwait, six killed, including victims of Iranian strikes.
02:06In Palestine, three women have been killed in the occupied West Bank.
02:11Syria has reported four deaths.
02:14Oman, three.
02:15Saudi Arabia, two.
02:17Bahrain, two.
02:18Even Europe hasn't been spared.
02:21A French soldier was killed in a drone attack in northern Iraq.
02:25And among the dead are Indian nationals.
02:29As of March 19, at least five Indians have lost their lives in this expanding conflict.
02:35Three were killed earlier this month in attacks on ships near the Strait of Hormuz, vessels caught
02:42in the crossfire of regional escalation.
02:45Another Indian died in a projectile strike in Saudi Arabia's Al-Kharj, part of Iran's retaliatory
02:52attacks on Gulf states.
02:53What began as scattered reports, two dead, one missing, has now risen to five confirmed
03:01deaths, with one still unaccounted for.
03:04Add it all together, and the toll crosses thousands of lives lost across more than a dozen countries.
03:11But the numbers keep changing, because the war is still unfolding.
03:16And every day, the question remains, how many more will be added to this count?
03:22That's it.
