Marking the lowest monthly non-combatant death toll since the start of the conflict in 2011, the war in Syria killed 103 civilians in March, a war monitor said Wednesday.
The civilian death toll was more than double that of March in February.
According to the Observatory, the number of deaths that month stood at 275.
The war in Syria has left more than 380,000 people dead since it started nine years ago.
The highest civilian death toll recorded in a month since the start of the conflict was 1,590 in July 2016, when battles between rebels and the Syrian government raged in the northern province of Aleppo.
Damascus in early March paused a military offensive on rebels and jihadists in Syria’s northwest, after a ceasefire into effect.
The fate of the displaced has been a key concern of aid groups amid an outbreak in the country of the novel Coronavirus, which has killed two and infected eight others.
The United Nations has appealed for a nation-wide ceasefire to tackle the novel Coronavirus threat.
