The Red Cross says air strikes by the US forces in Afghanistan on Tuesday are now thought to have killed dozens of civilians including women and children.
The organisation says the civilians were sheltering from fighting in the province of Farah when their houses were struck.
President Hamid Karzai says he has ordered an investigation.
Civilian casualties are sure to be high on Mr Karzai's agenda in his talks with President Barack Obama in Washington.
