Here is the breakdown of the number of foreigners in Iraq and Kuwait as of Oct. 10. Most estimates are based on embassy registrations.

An undetermined number of US, British, French and West German citizens are being held in Iraq and Kuwait as human shields around strategic targets. Others are believed hiding in Kuwait. Some foreigners, mostly women married to Iraqis or Kuwaitis, have elected to stay.

According to US State Department figures, more than 900,000 of the estimated three million foreigners in Kuwait and Iraq on Aug. 2, when Iraqi forces overran Kuwait, have left.
