“The American general who led a Nato training mission in Afghanistan opposed an investigation into corruption and ‘Auschwitz-like’ conditions at a US-funded hospital in Kabul for political reasons, US military officers told Congress on Tuesday. 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.”
