Around 1,900 people were reportedly killed in Syria, including at least 430 civilians, during the peace talks hosted by the UN in Switzerland.
The death toll was reported by the Britain-based Syrian Oservatory for Human Rights and indicated that violence did not cede even as the warring parties met for inconclusive talks.
According to News 24, the death toll included civilians, killed by bombs, snipers, missiles, and other causes, while the rest were rebels and forces loyal to President Bashar Assad.
The group's director, Rami Abdurrahman, said that that the week's bloody toll was about average at this point in the three-year conflict.
The report said that the conference didn't produce any tangible results, although connections made in Switzerland are likely to develop into prolonged negotiations to try to resolve the war.
The Syrian conflict began as largely peaceful protests against Assad in March 2011, but the uprising since became an increasingly sectarian civil war that has killed more than 130,000 people and displaced one-third of the entire pre-war population.
Abdurrahman said that the violence in Syria has trickled into Lebanon, where at least 50 tank shells hit in and around eight villages on the border, the report added.
