A group representing 94 foreign and Afghan aid agencies said that international and Afghan forces have killed at least 230 civilians this year, including 60 women and children.
''Excessive use of force and abusive raids and searches are undermining support not just for foreign and Afghan militaries but those involved in humanitarian and development work,'' the Agency Coordinating Body for Afghan Relief said.
In eastern Paktika province on Sunday, U.S.-led coalition warplanes targeted a compound that also contained a mosque and an Islamic school, resulting in the deaths of seven boys aged 10 to 16, the provincial governor said.
Karzai has been issuing lame condemnation of these atrocities for years now.
