Afghanistan
The following statement was released by MSF on Saturday, 3rd October.
“It is with deep sadness that we confirm so far the death of MSF staff members during the bombing last night of MSF’s hospital in Kunduz. Latest casualty figures report 37 people seriously wounded, of whom 19 are MSF staff.”
On Sunday 4th October MSF released a statement confirming that 12 staff MSF staff members and 10 patients were killed. Handicap International wishes to strongly condemn this terrible bombing and to express its full support to colleagues and friends at Doctors without Borders.
The ceasefire reached between Gaza and Israel continues to hold, after 11 days of bombing. But the threat to civilians is not over - hundreds of unexploded bombs can still pose a danger as people return home to areas that were bombed.
More than 170 members of 4 national parliaments call on governments to make a firm and concrete commitment to the fight against the bombing in populated areas.
In March 2021, HI finalised its two-year drone experimentation in Northern Chad with its partners Mobility Robotics and FlyingLabs Côte d’Ivoire.
