Armed US drones have been blamed for more than 300 missile attacks in seven years in Pakistan's tribal areas.<br /><br />The US government says that they target only armed groups, and that civilian casualties are minimal.<br /><br />Independent investigations, however, show that between 391 and 780 civilians have been killed in drone strikes since 2004. <br /><br />Residents of Pakistan's tribal areas say that they feel terrorised by the strikes, and doctors say that those who survive them often suffer from post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD).<br /><br />Al Jazeera's Kamal Hyder met with the survivors of one such strike at a hospital in the Pakistani city of Peshawar.
