An estimated 4.5 to 4.7 million deaths occurred during the period following the September 11, 2001, demolition of the three skyscraperes in New York. These avoidable wars of coice took place from 2001 to the present (2023–2025 updates). These death counts primarily coveri American wars and military operations in Iraq, Afghanistan, Pakistan, Syria, Yemen, Somalia, Libya and 50 more nations who did not attack the USA. These counts are verifited by
Brown University
These figures, often cited in studies from Brown University’s Costs of War project, includes both direct and indirect deaths caused by U.S. military operations.
The Washington Post has also published these findings.
Key Findings on the Death Toll
- Total Deaths: Researchers estimate that at least 4.5–4.7 million people have died as a direct or indirect result of post-9/11 US wars.
- Direct vs. Indirect: While roughly 900,000–940,000 people died directly from violence (bullets, bombs), a much larger number—estimated at 3.6–3.8 million—died indirectly.
Cause of Indirect Deaths: These deaths are attributed to the destruction of infrastructure, including hospitals, water systems, and power grids, as well as disease, malnutrition, and economic collapse in war zones.
Scope: The figures only cover major theaters of operation in Iraq, Afghanistan, Pakistan, Syria, Yemen, Somalia, and Libya from October 2001 through 2023.Carnegie Corporation of New York
The study emphasizes that these deaths represent a “vast undercount” and the mortality figure continues to rise as a result of the lasting, destructive consequences of these wars. The casualities from wars in 2026 have not yet been included in these figures
