An average of nearly 100 Iraqi civilians were killed every day in May and June, a UN report released Tuesday says.
The toll in the two months was 5,818 deaths, the UN Assistance Mission in Iraq reported.
The report shows civilian deaths have risen steadily this year, from 710 in January to 1,129 in April to 2,669 in May and 3,149 in June.
It calculated that 14,338 people had been killed in the first half of the year.
The steady violence has forced people from their homes, the report said.
