Title: Doctors Without Borders Staff Shot While Fleeing Kunduz Hospital, Report Finds

"MSF doctors and other medical staff were shot while running to reach safety in a different part of the compound."

. The medical humanitarian organization Doctors Without Borders released its internal report on Thursday about the October attack on its hospital in Kunduz, Afghanistan.

At least 30 people were killed in the airstrikes, led by U.S. forces, the report said. "Patients burned in their beds," it added, and "medical staff were decapitated and lost limbs."

The organization found that "a patient in a wheelchair attempting to escape from the inpatient department ... was killed by shrapnel from a blast."

The report also revealed that pilots shot at staff members fleeing the hospital.

"Many staff describe seeing people being shot, most likely from the plane, as people tried to flee the main hospital building that was being hit with each airstrike," the report said. "Some accounts mention shooting that appears to follow the movement of people on the run. [Doctors Without Borders] doctors and other medical staff were shot while running to reach safety in a different part of the compound."

Although the review isn't finished, Doctors Without Borders President Dr. Joanne Liu said that the organization released the report to "counter speculation and to be transparent."

The U.S. said last month that the airstrike was a mistake, but Doctors Without Borders, also called Médecins Sans Frontières, or MSF, has called it a war crime and demanded a humanitarian investigation.

"The question remains as to whether our hospital lost its protected status in the eyes of the military forces engaged in this attack -- and if so, why," the report stated. "The answer does not lie within the MSF hospital. Those responsible for requesting, ordering and approving the airstrikes hold these answers."

The facility was "fully functioning as a hospital with 105 patients admitted and surgeries ongoing at the time of the US airstrikes," according to the report.

Explosions from the attack rocked the northeastern Afghan city in the middle of the night on Oct. 3. It was the 12th U.S. airstrike in the area in a five-day period.

During the hour-long attack, hospital staff made 18 distress calls and texts to officials in both Afghanistan and the U.S.

A week before the bombing, the Taliban had captured Kunduz -- the first time the group had taken a major urban center in almost 15 years.

This is a developing story and will be updated.

Why are these doctors leaving the usa to get shot? The usa has no borders and is an easy place to get shot in. They should just stay here instead of leaving. Would save them a lot of trouble.

They want to "help" those people over there. One thing they forgot about was the high risk that is associated with their presence in a combat zone, the risk of being shot and killed. ;)

In Afghanistan and Yemen where the Saudis bombed another hospital the doctors don't have to put up with Medicare and the insurance companies.

Who is buying the medical supplies?

Probably can be traced back to the us taxpayer.

Médecins Sans Frontières is a Swiss foundation, but the hospital bombers at the Pentagram regard it as a Frog outfit, and it's a proven fact that the bastards in Washington won't tolerate French operations in any of the Imperial Theaters of War.

They are just a very closed-minded bunch.

We'll never know who ordered the strikes, or why; and nothing will be done to punish the war criminal.

Then instead of traveling so far just to get shot and killed, it would be much easier and closer just to go to watts, miami, detroit, chicago, or the bronx.

None of them have borders either and they are all war zones.

That is quite likely and lots of us are reduced to rank speculation and low humor.

Keep an eye on Veterans Today. They've scooped a lot of spectacular stories like the recent capture of an ISIS detachment accompanied by an Israeli colonel. An Iraqi militia unit picked these insects up while they were on a mission to the Syrian Kurds in northern Iraq.

A VT writer claims that Doctors without Borders has been subverted to operate as a smuggling and intel asset.

I'd hate to think that, but these days, who knows the truth about anything?
