Kunduz Hospital Attack

The Kunduz Hospital Attack occurred on October 3, 2015, when a U.S. airstrike targeted a Doctors Without Borders (MSF) hospital in Kunduz, Afghanistan. The attack resulted in the deaths of 42 people, including patients and medical staff. The U.S. military stated the bombing was a mistake, triggered by a nearby Taliban attack on Afghan forces. The incident raised significant concerns about the protection of healthcare facilities in conflict zones and prompted international outcry, leading to calls for accountability and better adherence to international humanitarian law to safeguard civilians during war.
