Eyewitness Account Details Aftermath of Pakistani Airstrike on Kabul Addiction Center
KABUL (Afghan Verified) - Rescue operations continued two days after Pakistani fighter jets struck Camp Omid, an addiction treatment center in Kabul's Pul-e Charkhi area, around 9 p.m. local time on Tuesday, 26 Hoot.
The Taliban report more than 400 patients killed and over 250 wounded in the attack.
On Wednesday, 28 Hoot, at 9 a.m., crowds gathered outside the center's closed main gate, where Taliban soldiers restricted entry. Nurses at a small side gate read aloud from lists of patients' names, allowing entry only to those who recognized a relative.
Lists posted on walls beside the gate included 491 names of survivors transferred to Camp Aghosh, a 5,000-bed addiction treatment facility also in Pul-e Charkhi. Another list named about 300 injured patients sent to hospitals.
Mostly men searched the lists for sons, brothers or fathers. An elderly illiterate woman sought help finding her brother's name, which was absent. Taliban personnel in civilian clothes questioned individuals closely, and security measures prevented use of mobile phones.
The eyewitness, who attempted entry under the pretext of reporting, was denied without identification or a patient's photo. Taliban forces have tightly controlled information flow since the attack, limiting media access to a few outlets.
