Some 10,243 people have been wounded since the conflict began in April, the UN's OCHA humanitarian agency OCHA said in a statement on December 13.
The statement said that more than 1.1 million people have been displaced - 542,080 internally and 567,956 fleeing to neighboring countries, the vast majority, 465,721, to Russia.
According to the report, some 5.2 million people live in conflict-afflicted areas.
