AFP: Iraq death toll at lowest level in five years

The death toll from violence in Iraq has fallen to its lowest monthly level in five years following the Islamic State group's military collapse, the United Nations said Monday.

The United Nations Assistance Mission for Iraq said new lows were recorded in October and November.

In November, a total of 117 civilians and police were killed and 264 wounded in acts of terrorism, violence and armed conflict, UNAMI said.

The highest death tolls by province were recorded in Baghdad, at 51, and Salaheddin, with 24 deaths.
