This document analyses the human impact that the Angolan conflict has had on the civilian population in terms of mortality and malnutrition. Special attention is paid to the differences in impact over time and to the legal status of the population affected; residents, Internal Displaced Persons and refugees. Also the extent to which the conflict has caused an excess mortality and the main causes of this excess are assessed. The analysis are based on more than 90 quantitative surveys undertaken in Angola by several NGOs since 1999, as well as surveillance mortality data on Angolan refugee camps outside the borders.
