In the early hours of October 3, the Doctors Without Borders hospital in Afghanistan was made subject to a military bombardment, for over an hour and 15 minutes, killing 30 people.

Among the victims are 13 staff members, three children, and other patients on operating tables, as well as wounded individuals in their beds and wheelchairs.

While air strikes and other types of bombings are part of war, this act of bombing a hospital is criminal, as protection has been afforded to hospitals in war zones, as stated by Geneva Conventions.

According to The New York Times, at a news conference on Thursday, the organization said that more than a month after the attacks, the US Military still didn't offer explanation for the breach in the laws of war other than that the clearly marked hospital bearing the Medecins Sans Frontieres logo was hit by mistake.

This explanation is something that the organization refused to buy. The groups's general director, Christopher Stokes said, "A mistake is quite hard to understand and believe at this stage."

He shared details about the attack, noting that "From what we are seeing now, this action is illegal in the laws of war. You cannot do this. You cannot bomb a hospital."

More information continue to emerge, but more and more, they suggest that the military hit their intended target, but for reasons unknown. As Stokes questioned, "Did our hospital lose its protected status in the eyes of the military forces engaged in this attack, and if so, why?"

After claiming that the hospital was collateral damage in a bombardment intended to protect the American Forces, American Commander Gen. John F Campbell changed the account, saying that the bombardment was made in response to a request for an air strike from the Afghan forces.

Reuters noted that Pentagon Spokesman Capt. Jeff Davis said about the incident, "we have worked closely with MSF to determine the facts surrounding it. We are committed to conducting investigations that are thorough and transparent." Interestingly, his statement did not address specifics from the report.

The MSF, on the other hand had been thorough. In a section from their report, they stated that staff members in Kunduz, Kabul, as well as those in New York were frantic about the strikes and have tried to contact the US Military and NATO to get the attack halted, but to no avail. A military official reportedly texted back, "I'll do my best, praying for you all."

Investigation is still ongoing, but while details are scarce, a separate NATO casualty report, originally expected in October, has been delayed as well.
