Doctors Without Borders / MSF-USA 268d ago

We are marking 10 years since the deadliest attack ever perpetrated against a Doctors Without Borders/Médecins Sans Frontières (MSF) facility. On October 3, 2015, our trauma hospital in Kunduz, Afghanistan, came under intense and prolonged US airstrikes. The attack killed 42 people, including 14 MSF staff—nurses, doctors, and support workers. Patients were burned in their beds; people lost limbs; and some were shot while fleeing the burning building. At the time, our hospital was a lifeline for people wounded in Afghanistan’s ongoing conflict. A decade later, in a country no longer at war, the city and the nature of the wounds have changed. MSF runs a new 79-bed trauma center in Kunduz equipped with an emergency room, an intensive care unit, inpatient and outpatient departments, operating theaters, and a space for physiotherapy. Our staff, many of them survivors of the 2015 attack, provide care for patients injured in road accidents, falls, and unexploded ordnance.
