It is unclear exactly how many protesters were killed during the clashes but most reports from the Zeinhom morgue, where the bodies were taken, point towards at least 90. The Ministry of Health reported the death toll at 41. Amnesty International acquired a document claiming 51 people were killed. Cause of death included live ammunition, with several bodies coming in with multiple gunshot wounds, buckshot wounds and affixation from the tear gas. Field hospital doctors reported some bodies were completely black because of the tear gas. At least two children, both 15 year-olds, were killed. The health ministry and Zeinhom morgue refused to issue proper death certificates for many of the victim's families, instead documenting the cause of death as being a “heart attack," which prompted many to demand full autopsies of their loved ones' bodies. The manipulation of death causes is the chief reason why there is no clear death toll. Hassan Ibrahim
