Death toll climbs after Kunduz hospital airstrike
Doctors Without Borders said 12 hospital staff and 10 patients were killed when a U S airstrike hit the Doctors Without Borders hospital in Kunduz. The hospital was described as sustaining “sustained bombing” and is no longer functional as wounded patients were sent to other facilities. NATO and the Pentagon pledged swift investigations, with officials noting the strike targeted insurgents firing on U S personnel amid efforts to aid Afghan forces. President Obama and MSF leaders called for accountability as the city remains tense and services fragile.
