In 2010, it was estimated that 107,000 people in Northern Ireland suffered some physical injury as a result of the conflict. On the basis of data gathered by the [[Northern Ireland Statistics and Research Agency]], the [[Victims' Commissioner|Victims Commission]] estimated that the conflict resulted in 500,000 'victims' in Northern Ireland alone. It defines 'victims' are those who are directly affected by 'bereavement', 'physical injury', or 'trauma' as a result of the conflict.<ref>Simon Cunningham.
