Baku – APA. A new study, titled, ‘Costs of War’, produced by Brown University’s Watson Institute for International Studies claims that civilian and military casualties in Afghanistan and Pakistan total almost 149,000 people killed, along with 162,000 critically wounded.
The study looks at war-related deaths, injuries and displacement in Afghanistan and Pakistan from 2001 to last year, when international combat troops left Afghanistan.
Noting the increase in the annual figures of the people killed, the report’s author, Neta Crawford, said the war in Afghanistan “is getting worse”.
Further, the UN said civilian casualties rose 16% in the first four months of 2015, with 974 people killed.
