More than 300,000 people have been killed in the Syrian conflict since March 2011, a monitor said in a new toll Tuesday, the first full day of an internationally-brokered truce.

More than 86,000 civilians were among the 301,781 people killed, the opposition UK-based Syrian Observatory for Human Rights said.

The figure is an increase of nearly 9,000 on the last death toll published by the Observatory in early August.
