President Barack Obama has apologized to humanitarian aid organization Doctors Without Borders for a U.S. attack on a medical clinic in Kunduz, Afghanistan, White House press secretary Josh Earnest announced Wednesday. The bombing killed at least 22 people, including hospital staff and patients.
Obama also reportedly offered his condolences to Afghan President Ashraf Ghani for the lives lost in the incident.
Doctors Without Borders called for an independent investigation into the attack on Wednesday, charging that the attack is a war crime that violates the Geneva Conventions.
