What is the price of a human life?
In Afghanistan, if foreign troops kill an innocent civilian by accident, families may receive compensations of around $2,500.

However, many bereaved families aren't convinced that money will heal deep wounds.
Al Jazeera's Hoda Abdel Hamid reports from Kabul - where civilian casualties are rising.
