Kim hopes to interview patients there, but many have fled to other parts of Afghanistan for medical care, the official said.

Yet, there is a high barrier to cross before the IHFFC can take action.
Investigation into US bombing attack of hospital needs to proceed quickly and transparently. He did not reveal the full sequence of events, but he said a US special operations unit that was in the “close vicinity” of the clinic spoke to the crew aboard an AC-130 gunship.
“Local staff are often motivated by a desire to help within their own communities, and don’t always see the risks as the same, nor do they necessarily see these contexts as “hardship” posts”. However, that is all very unlikely. Gen. Ghulam Sakhi Ghafoori, a senior commander of provincial civil order police force, said.
What proof is required to prosecute a war crime? They include unlawful attacks on civilians and attacks on protected objects such as hospitals and religious or cultural property. The hospital was the only facility of its kind in the northeastern region of the country.
Kay notes that there have been instances of medical installations being used as cover for forces to launch attacks.
War, it is said, is conducted in a fog, and while civilian deaths are to be avoided and lamented, they are also inevitable. You can’t charge an entire country with a war crime.

The organization’s top leadership has kept up the pressure on the US administration, holding press conferences and using social media to make their case.
U.S. President Barack Obama on Wednesday apologized to MSF chief Joanne Liu, admitting the strike was a mistake.

Criminal prosecutors might call it manslaughter or criminally negligent homicide. “It’s purely looking at violations in worldwide humanitarian law”. If they did, why did they open fire, and if not, why not?
Cohn, the law professor, shared a similar point of view.
Yesterday, the head of U.S. forces in Afghanistan told US Senators that the airstrike “mistakenly struck” the building. And that requires the us military to back them up with “advisers” on the ground and airstrikes that may not be that precise. Military officials have changed their narrative multiple times since their initial announcement.
Asked about allegations that Afghan troops had called in the U.S. strike because wounded Taliban fighters were being treated in the hospital, Campbell said that would not be a justification.
Medical charity says it is unable to confirm whereabouts of missing colleagues and patients.
The MSF hospital in Kunduz is no longer operational, which has put severe burden on the city, MSF and Afghan officials have said.
