A new study shows that nearly one-hundred thousand people have been killed in Afghanistan since the US-led invasion of the country in 2001.
The study by Brown University in the US, looks at war-related deaths and injuries in Afghanistan and Pakistan from 2001 to 2014.
It shows that civilian and military deaths in both countries total almost 149thousand.
The figures which include civilians, militants, foreign forces and aid workers, are based on statistics from the UN Assistance Mission in Afghanistan, as well as other sources.
Most civilian deaths happened after 2007, with nearly 18-thousand deaths recorded between 2009 and 2014.
The author of the report says the rising civilian casualties shows that the war hasn't ended, despite the withdrawal of the US-led forces.
