KABUL – The recent study of War on Terror (WOT) revealed that it cost around 149,000 lives in two countries Pakistan and Afghanistan, with 162,000 people received severe injuries.
The study, called Costs of War and produced by Brown University’s Watson Institute for International Studies, looks at war-related deaths, injuries and displacement in Afghanistan and Pakistan from 2001 to last year, when international combat troops left Afghanistan.
It says war in Afghanistan since the 2001 US-led invasion overthrew the Taliban regime has killed almost 100,000 people, and wounded the same number.
Noting a rise in annual figures for killed and wounded in recent years, the report’s author, Neta Crawford, says the war in Afghanistan “is getting worse”.
The United Nations said civilian casualties rose 16 per cent in the first four months of 2015, with 974 people killed
