Many war crimes by U.S. military in Afghanistan !
[ " Starting at 2:08am on Saturday 3 October, a United States AC-130 gunship fired 211 shells on the main hospital building where patients were sleeping in their beds or being operated on in the operating theatre.
At least 42 people were killed, including 24 patients, 14 staff and 4 caretakers. Thirty-seven people were injured.
Our patients burned in their beds, our medical staff were decapitated or lost limbs. Others were shot from the air while they fled the burning building.
The attack from the air lasted for around one hour. The main hospital building came under precise and repeated airstrikes, while the surrounding buildings were left mostly untouched.
Throughout the airstrikes our teams desperately called military authorities to stop the attack. "]
