There are thought to be between 60,000 and 70,000 Mandaeans worldwide,[1] and until the 2003 Iraq war, almost all of them lived in Iraq.[3] Most Iraqi Mandaeans have since fled the country under the threat of violence by other Iraqis and the turmoil of the war.[4] By 2007, the population of Iraqi Mandaeans had fallen to approximately 5,000.[3] Most Iraqi Mandaeans now live in Syria and Jordan, with smaller populations in Sweden, Australia, the United States, and other Western countries.
