Kunduz Hospital Airstrike

Last update: 3 October 2016 3 October 2016 Today, MSF remembers one of the darkest moments in its history. On 3 October 2015, U.S. airstrikes killed 42 people and destroyed the MSF trauma hospital in Kunduz, Afghanistan. As we grieve the loss of our colleagues and patients, we are left with the question: is it still possible to safely provide medical care on the frontline? In the past year, there have been a further 77 attacks on medical facilities run and supported by MSF in Syria and Yemen. Hospitals are being continually dragged onto the battlefield, and patients and their doctors and nurses are sacrificed in the process. Read the full text of One year after Kunduz: Battlefields without doctors, in wars without limits by Christopher Stokes, MSF General Director 29 April 2016 The US military has released its report on the attack on MSF's trauma hospital Read MSF's initial reaction to public release of U.S. military investigative report and the many questions that remain outstanding seven months after the attack. On Saturday 3 October 2015, the MSF Trauma centre in Kunduz was hit several times during sustained bombing by coalition forces, and was very badly damaged. The total number of dead is known to be at least 42, including 24 patients, 14 staff and 4 caretakers. All of MSF grieves with the victims’ families. They will be tremendously missed and never forgotten. On this one month anniversary of the attack on our colleagues and patients, we wish to express our deep concern for each wounded and severely sick person in Kunduz that has not had access to trauma care in the last month. We also request that the protections of health staff, health structures and patients in conflicts, granted by International Humanitarian Law, be respected. The possibility to receive impartial medical care by victims of wars depends on it. Read on to learn more.

Read full details in our fact-sheet Sign our petition, demanding an Independent Investigation MSF is pushing for a full, transparent, and independent investigation into this shocking event. Help us by adding your name to the growing petition at Change.org, asking U.S. President Obama to consent to an independent investigation. Enough. Even war has rules. Statement by Dr Joanne Liu, MSF International President: "Today we pay tribute to those who died in this abhorrent attack. And we pay tribute to those MSF staff who, while watching their colleagues die and with their hospital still on fire, carried on treating the wounded. This was not just an attack on our hospital - it was an attack on the Geneva Conventions. This cannot be tolerated. These Conventions govern the rules of war and were established to protect civilians in conflicts – including patients, medical workers and facilities. They bring some humanity into what is otherwise an inhumane situation." "We are seeking an investigation into the Kunduz attack by the International Humanitarian Fact-Finding Commission. This Commission was established in the Additional Protocols of the Geneva Conventions and is the only permanent body set up specifically to investigate violations of international humanitarian law." Read the full speech. Testimony from MSF nurse eyewitness to attack MSF nurse Lajos Zoltan Jecs was in Kunduz trauma hospital when the facility was struck. "There are no words for how terrible it was. In the Intensive Care Unit six patients were burning in their beds. We looked for some staff that were supposed to be in the operating theatre. It was awful. A patient there on the operating table, dead, in the middle of the destruction. We couldn't find our staff." Read his full account. We demand an independent investigation “Under the clear presumption that a war crime has been committed, MSF demands that a full and transparent investigation into the event be conducted by an independent international body. // www.msf.org
