BBC: Syria war: UN calculates new death toll 

At least 350,209 people have been killed in 10 years of war in Syria, the UN says in its first official death toll since 2014. 

Its human rights chief cautioned the figure is "certainly an under-count of the actual number of killings". 

A leading but unofficial UK-based monitoring group recently put the death toll at over 606,000. 

The war in Syria has largely wound down with just a single province now controlled by jihadists and rebels.
