Previous estimates had put the figure at approximately 250,000 dead. The UN put the number dead at that figure but has stopped counting since August 2015.
SCPR says that 400,000 of its estimated deaths were a direct result of the violence of the Syrian war while the other 70,000 fell victim to lack of proper health or access to clean water and medicine which was brought on by the war.
In addition to almost half-a-million deaths the report estimates 1.9 million people have been wounded.
Thanks to this war life expectancy in Syria has declined from 70 in 2010 to 55.4 in 2015.
