The British military itself announced that compensation has been paid to the families of 64 children killed so far, while 881 such applications have come forward, meaning that only 25 percent have been processed.
By paying compensation to the families of 64 children of the British forces, their own claim of the death of 16 children in the Afghan war became moot. A total of 790 thousand and 133 dollars has been paid to 64 families in the UK so far.
Speaking to the British Broadcasting Corporation, a family from the Helmand province of Afghanistan said that they were paid 8,260 dollars by the British government. Their loved ones were killed in an attack in 2008.
