27 September 2016 – Rockets struck a Médecins Sans Frontières (MSF) hospital on 3 October 2015 in Kunduz, Afghanistan, killing 14 health workers and injuring 37. As a result of the attack, the hospital became dysfunctional, but the health needs remained.
In October 2015 alone, the conflict in Kunduz between anti-government elements and Afghan national forces killed more than 100 people, injured over 400 and displaced 30 000.
Before the bombing, the MSF hospital had a 100% occupancy rate with many more patients seeking admission.
