List of civilian casualties in the war in Afghanistan (2007)

The year 2007 saw a significant increase in civilian casualties in the ongoing War in Afghanistan compared to previous years. This escalation was attributed to a variety of factors, including intensified fighting between the International Security Assistance Force (ISAF) and the Taliban, increased use of improvised explosive devices (IEDs) by insurgents, and a rise in air strikes conducted by coalition forces.

Documenting precise figures for civilian casualties in conflict zones is inherently challenging due to accessibility limitations, security concerns, and differing definitions of what constitutes a "civilian" casualty. Various organizations collect and publish data on this issue, often with differing methodologies and results. Prominent sources include the United Nations Assistance Mission in Afghanistan (UNAMA), human rights organizations like Human Rights Watch and Amnesty International, and media outlets covering the conflict.

Reports from these organizations pointed to an increase in civilian deaths caused by both insurgent activity and actions taken by pro-government forces. Insurgent tactics, such as suicide bombings in populated areas and the deliberate targeting of civilians perceived to be collaborating with the government or international forces, contributed significantly to the casualty toll. Concerns were also raised regarding ISAF airstrikes and ground operations, with incidents reported of civilian deaths and injuries resulting from inaccurate targeting or insufficient precautions to protect non-combatants.

The rise in civilian casualties in 2007 led to increased criticism of the conduct of the war from both within Afghanistan and internationally. Calls were made for greater transparency and accountability regarding civilian harm, as well as for improved tactics and strategies to minimize the impact of the conflict on the civilian population. The issue of civilian casualties remained a highly sensitive and contentious aspect of the war throughout its duration.
