Another staffer with Doctors Without Borders has been confirmed dead after its charity hospital in Afghanistan was bombed in a U.S. air strike earlier this month, the organization said Friday, NBC news reported.
The death toll in the deadly strike on the facility in Kunduz is now at 23 — 13 hospital staff and 10 patients, Doctors Without Borders said. One other staffer and two other patients are presumed dead, the organization said.
The charity, which is also known as Médecins Sans Frontières, or MSF, criticized the bombing as a war crime, and President Barack Obama personally called the charity's chief and the president of Afghanistan to apologize for the strike. He also promised a full investigation.
