The dataset does not currently include event descriptions or geo-coordinates due to HDX policy. Data is updated every Monday. Numbers may change if or when further information is made available.*635 is based on the number of health workers killed where location and date has been identified. Other sources have reported 986 health workers killed. Insecurity Insight carries out cross-checking of individual events and names and does not re-report aggregate figures. The work of collating a complete list of health workers killed based on information provided in different formats by different organisations is ongoing. This cross-checking process is complex to avoid double counting the same individuals in cases when sources report different victim information about the same individual. The lack of a consistent standard in transcribing Arab names into Latin script based languages complicates the matching process. The total number of health workers killed is believed to be higher than the current verified number and we continue to backdate information.
