deadly target in Middle East conflicts in Syrian citizens

An employee of Doctors Without Borders, MSF, walks inside the charred remains of the organization's
hospital after it was hit by a U.S. airstrike in Kunduz, Afghanistan. TDoctors Without Borders, known by its French acronym, MSF, says that least 100 staff members, patients and caretakers were killed, and at least 130 were injured, in aerial bombing and shelling attacks on at least 80 MSF-supported and run health structures in 2015 and early 2016.

The April 27 strike was the latest of thousands of attacks in recent years on medical facilities in conflicts in the Middle East and elsewhere that have killed hundreds in brazen violation of humanitarian norms. Facilities have been struck in Syria, Afghanistan, Iraq, Yemen and South Sudan.
