Doctors Without Borders says three of its staff were killed in an
overnight bombing of a hospital in the embattled Afghan city of Kunduz.
NATO said a US air strike “may have” hit the hospital, which is run
by the medical charity, adding that the attack may have resulted in
collateral damage.
The MSF hospital is seen as a key medical lifeline in the region,
which has been running “beyond capacity” in recent days of fighting
which saw the Taliban seize control of the provincial capital for
several days.
“At 2:10 am (20:40 GMT) local time… the MSF trauma centre in Kunduz
was hit several times during sustained bombing and was very badly
damaged,” MSF said in a statement.
