The hospital run by doctors without boarders was hit
Afghan government forces backed by U.S. air power have fought to drive the
Taliban out of the northern provincial capital since the militants seized it
six days ago, in the biggest victory of their near 14-year insurgency.
An airstrike hit a hospital run by Medecins Sans Frontieres in the Afghan
city of Kunduz on Saturday, killing at least 16 people in what the U.S.
military called possible "collateral damage" in the battle to oust Taliban
insurgents.
Frantic MSF staff phoned military officials at NATO in Kabul and Washington
after the attack, and bombs continued to rain down near the medical facility
for nearly an hour, one official from the aid group said.
At least 37 people were wounded and many patients and staff still missing,
it added.
"We are deeply shocked by the attack, the killing of our staff and patients
and the heavy toll it has inflicted on healthcare in Kunduz," operations
director Bart Janssens said in a statement.
Almost 200 patients and employees were in the hospital, the only one in the
region that can deal with major injuries, said Medecins Sans Frontieres,
which raised the death toll to at least 16 by late on Saturday. |
