At the hearing, officers described the extent of human suffering at the hospital, where the lack of care forced families of soldiers to empty ‘vats of blood draining from their wounds’. The Wall Street Journal reported that Afghan soldiers often died from neglect or lack of food as some Afghan doctors and nurses demanded bribes for food.”
